POETRY.
A New Poem by Swinburne.
A Ballad of Francois vilion, Prince of
all Ballad Makers.

Bird of the bright gray, golden morn,
First OF us all, and sweetest singer porn,
Whose far, shrill note the world OF new men neaIs
Cleaye the cold shuddeiing shade, as twilight
clears; .,...
And felt its tune on her changed lips expire
Writ foremost on the roll of them that came,
Fresh girt for service of the latter Tyre,
Villon, our sad, bad, glad, mad brothers name!
Alasl the Joy. the sorrow and the scorn
That clothed thy life with hopes, and sins, ana
fears,
Aud gave thee stones for bread and for corn,
And plume-plucked jail birds for thy starVehng
peers, :,
Till death clipped close their flight with shameful
shears,
Till shrits came short and loves were hard to hire.
When lit of song nor twitch OF twaDgling wire
Could buy thee bread or Kisses when light fame
Ran up the score against thee higher and higher,
Spurned like ball, and hailed through brake and
brier,
villon, our sad, bad, glad, mad brothers name!
Poor splendid wings, so frayed and soiled and orni
Poor kind wild eyes, SO dashed with hght quick
Poor, perfect voice, most bthe when most forlorn,
That rings athwart the sea whence no man steers.
Like joybels crossed with death bells IN our ears'
What far delight has coiled the fierce desire
That like some ravenous bird was strong to tire
On that frail flesh and soul consumed with hame,
But lett more sweet than roses to respire,
Villon, our sad, bad, glad, mad bIothers nameT
Envoi.
Prince of sweet songs made out of tears and fire,
A harlot was thy nurse, god thy sire: ~
Shame soed thy song and song assailed thy shame:
But from thy feet now death has washed the mire,
Love reads out first, at head of all our qufrs,
Villon, our sad, bad, glad, mad brothers name.
