Fragment.

Long Law was ended and the sileut crowd
Waited the king award-when suddenly
The sharp strings Of a Tyre were swept without,
And clear voice claim hearing for a bard
Belated on bis journey Mask'd and clad
In a long stole, the herald led me in.
A thousand eyes were on me: bat saw
The new -throned queen, in her high place, alone;
And. kneeling at her feet, pressd my brow
Upon her footstool, till the images
OF my past hours rnsh'd thick upon my brain;
Then, rising hastily, struck my Tyre;
And, in story woven Of my own,
so did paint her In her loneliness
Pouring my heart Ill out upon the lines
knew too faithfully, and layishing
The boarded fire Of whole age ofIove
Upon each passionate word, that, as sunk
Exhausted at the close, the ravish'd crowd
Flung gold and flowers on my still quivering Tyre;
And the moved monarch in his gIadness swore
There was no boon beneath his kingly, crown
Too high for such MINSTREL

Milton supposes Eve was fascinated with her
OWE charms as mirrored in the waters Of Para
disc, and her daughters have faithfully follow
ed her example. for they are seldom disincned
to contemplate ideal beauty in their own SYM
metrical forms and features. If the "proper
study Of mankind is man." why may not woman
be allowed a Ike privilege, for thereby blem-
ish may be removed and many charm height
ened
The standards of beauty in woman vary with
those of taste. Socrates called beauty short
lived tyranny; Plato, privilege of nature;
Theophratus, a silent cheat; Theocrltus, de-
Ightful prejudice; Carneades, a solitary king
dom; and Aristotle affirmed that it was better
than all the letters Of recommendation in the
world. -.
