William Wordsworth, next preceding
Tennyson, was born in ITO, made
laureate at the age of 73 in 1913, and
died in 1850. Critics are fond of point
ing out the limitations of Wordsworth
genius. He was trammeled by his
theories, and writing many times with :
out inspiration he was proliX and
tedious, He had positively no humor,
and may be considered what we would
term one of the most unequal of poets
He believed in the sacredness OF MS
message to the world, and, to use his
own language, he was to reveal a
glory very near, but sealed to many.
Hence, he became largely interpretive.
and the interpretive are very apt to
become lugubrious. He was very
minute observer of nature but he al
ways has a perspective, and many
times too far back to be perceptible to
the ordinary mortal. He finds phllo-
sophie basis for current Christian rev.
elation. God is necessary; therefore is
For my single self I must say that life
is too short to follow a philosophic
dreamer. 1 leave his Excursion" for
others to take. and think his simple
lyric, I'VE Are Seven,'' is the best work
of his hands. There is this to say,
however: He found in his philosophy
the wand that gave him ten or twelve
peaceful years, and passed out with
the white hairs of so in that perfect
faith that is always a benediction and
an invitation to come up higher

years under the pressure of poverty.
AS is many times the case, his pest
work resulted from his Humiliation
notably ''Alexander's Feast" and 'Ooe
to st. Cecilia's Day" His transia-
tions were also scholarly and Wen
done
A few short selections will indicate
his thought:
For truth has such face and such
mien
AS to be loved needs only to be seen.
For art may err but nature cannot miss
Virtue, though in rags, will keep me
warm.
Whatever is, is in it's causes just!

greatest of the poets laureate, and it
may be stated that on him for the
first time since Ben Jonson the laurel
fell upon the greatest living English
poets. 1 have overreached my time.
and can do but scanty Justice to Ten
nyson. He was born at Somerby, Lin
colnshire, England, in 1909; made
laureate in 1850, and died in 1892. 1t
might be said of him that he was born
to the muses.. A liberal education, an
ample endowment, a splendid mental
equipment, gave him every possible in
centive to excel, and it is no small
point in his favor that he reached the
very wealth of fame without for once
receiving the spur of necessity. There
are SO many shipwrecks among the af-
fluent that it is we'll to note the shining
exception of Lord Tennyson. He was
in no sense of the term a sycophant.
and, thanks to the present English
system, no such a person is expected
or would be tolerated. The older L
grow the less 1 find to excuse in Ten
nyson. If in the ripper years of his life
he wrote another "Lockesley Hall, :"
and if in his later years and honors
he may have run counter to his early
thought in Lady Clara We're de We're, :"
he never lost his faith in the common
people of England. Perhaps he found
it necessary to fit his ripper sentiments
to the democracy of the later England
Like all his predecessors his grandest
flights were outside of the courtly re-
straintS of the laureate, yet who that
speaks the Anglo-Saxon can find more
beautiful language than gushes up nat
urally from his great soul in homage
of Queen as highly respected in this
as in the mother nation. Many of us
place Longfellow as the first American
author of verse, and 1 accord with that
feeling. Tennyson exceeded Longfe,-
low only as Oxford exceeds Harvard,
; or as England exceeds our nation in
historic perspective. But I could talk
all night and not reach more than the
barest segment of the subject. Let me
close the short sketch of him with his
beautiful words when nearing the sun
set of his great life:
CROSSING THE BAR.
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for mel
Ana may there be no moaning of the bar
When l put out to sea-
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from on: the
boundleSs deep
Turns again home
Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When 1 embark.
For though from out our bourne of time
and place,
The flood may bear me far,
l hope to see my pilot face to face
When / have crossed the bar.

Thomas Shadwell who succeeded
Dryden, was born in 164O, made laure-
ate in 1859, and died in 1862. He takes
no high rank as poet, but was true
son of his age. He wrote plays that
mirrored the fashions. Shadwells odes
to William of Orange were positively
pitiful, His life was uneventful. he
was of good family, his childhood hap
by. He passed Cambridge, but ne
never got beyond the most mediocre
cast of plays. He attempted to rldl-
Guile his predecessor and superior, Dry
den, and praised Ben Jonson, declaring
him the greatest dramatic poet that
ever lived, which of course proves that
he either did not know or could not
understand Shakespeare.

poems and pieces, indicate the volume
of his work The Battle of Blenheim,'
1.-The Well of St. Keyne," 1.-The Cataract
of Lodore' are schoolbook classics of
to-day. Much that Southey wrote will
live the life of our language. Time
winnows carefully and justly and the
grain always remains.

Nicholas Rowe, Tate's successor, was
better poet and more prosperous man.
He was born in 1914, made laureate in
the reign of George l., and died in 111S.
He was clever at books, was educated
at Westminster school, entered the
Middle Temple for the study of law at
at the age of 16, but very soon gave
up law for general literature On the
death of his father he was left line
independence. At the age of 70 he en-
tered into competition with leading
dramatists in London and published his
first play with the very common name
of 1.-The Ambitious Stepmother." His
friendship with Pope, Swift, Arbuthnot,
Prior and others stimulated him, and
widened his range of thought. HIS
'Tamerline," Jane Shore" and Lady
Jane Grey have survived and are still
staged in England. His greatest work,
however, indicates his native nobility.
He was the first for all the years of the
laureate to bring out an edition of
Shakespeare and produce a revival OF
the legitimate Shakespearean drama
Pope, who welded the very scimetar OF
sarcasm at times, spoke in the highest
terms of Rowe and when he passed
away at the abbreviated age of 40 sin
cerely mourned him.
One selection will have to suffice,
taken from his ulysses:
Learn to dissemble wrongs, to smile at
injuries
And suffer crimes thou want'st the power
to punish;
Be easy. affable, familiar, friendly;
Search and know all mankind's myster-
iOuS ways.
But trust the secret of thy soul to none.
This is the way,
This only, to be safe in such world as
this.

Another nobody succeeded Shadwell,
named Nahum Tate. He was born IN
Dublin in 1862, made laureate in l63l'
in the reigns of William Ill, Anna and
George l., and died in 1110. He be-
longed to a family of clergymen, but
his tastes differed from theirs. He was
a graduate of Trinity College, was
drawn to London as to a magnet, was
fortunate in securing the friendly OF
fees of Dryden. Like all his prede-
cessors, after several failures he be-
gan to write for the stage. The most
popular writer's of the time did not
hesitate, like donkeys in lion skins, to
recast Shakespeare and Jonson, ana
it was an open secret that Tate pla-
CARRIED from every writer in Slght.
None of his plays live, and his recasts
of Shakespeare brought him into r1dl-
Guile. A writer says "he was the worst
tinker of Shakespeare and issued the
worst metricaL edition of Psalms OF
David ever printed He did write one
hymn that has survived to our present
hymnals, and you will all remember its
first line:
When shepherds watched their 1ocks by

Robert Southey succeeded him in 1913,
having been born in 1774, and dying in
1913, thus completing the third and
fourth George, the fourth William, and
passing into the reign of Victoria His
power as a prose writer and historian
obscured his fame as a poet. He also
suffered in comparison with his cotem
poraries, which must include that ire
mendous galaxy that crossed the eight
zenith into the nineteenth century. How
their names come up to us: Scott,
Byron, Moore, Wordsworth, Coleridge;
yes, and Campbell and Montgomery. He
was unfortunate in his subjects, but
was for the most original. Byron in
his English Bards and Scotch Review
ers'' and in his Don Juan" ridicules
him, but is compelled to praise his his
tories. His History of Brazil" Life
of Wesley and Life of Nelson" are
leading references in English libraries
to-day. After passing his degrees at
Oxford he considered the matter of TAX
ing churchly orders, but his Unitarian
views would not permit. His writings,
prose and poetry, make quite a library
of themselves. Forty-five Independent
works, one hundred and twenty-six ar
ticles for the 'Quarterly'' and fifty-two
in the Annual Review" besides shorter

fact that the king and Pye wereJhunt-
ing. the king fell and lost his wig, and
Immediately began to search for it.,
when Pye expressed concern for his
majesty, and no concern for the wig.
This settled it, and settled the laurel
over his brow. He was born in 1l4o,
made laureate in 1890, died in 1913. He
distinguished himself at college. He
afterward said: Il would rather be
thought good Englishman than the
best poet that ever wrote" He had his
wish. He was cIassed as man Of Gull
ture, a good Englishman, but never as
a great poet. Some of Pye's minor
poems show graceful fancy, but there
is no originality Of thought in them.

From Rowe the laureate descends to
that. Lawrence Ensden was born in
Yorkshire, and the event was Of so little
moment that researches have been un-
able to give the date. He was made
laureate in 171S, held his place through
the latter part of the reign of George l.
and the early part of the reign OF
George IL, and died in 1870. He must
have had his appointment from some
strange infatuation of the King, for
there is no evidence that he was ap-
preciated during his term of honor, and
subsequent editions of the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica ignores him. Southey
ranked him above Tate and Shadwell
but Pope indicates his estimate in the
following:
Praise undeserved is scandal in disguise;
And when / hatter let my dirty leaves.
Like journals, odes, and such forgotten
AS Ensden, Phillips. Settle wrote OF
Kings,
Clothe, spice, line trunks.
He was a graduate of Trinity College
and made a creditable career in his
classes. He translated from the italian
authors creditably, but should have re-
sisted the temptation to make verse
There was quite strife for the vacant
position and among those seeking il
were Pope, Cibber, Steele and Con
grove. The Earl of buckingham makes
it the subject of satire, and says:
At last rushed in Ensden and cried, 'Wht

But /, the true laureate, to whom the
King gave it?'
Apollo begged pardon and granted his
claim
But vowed that till then he had ne'el

His defense of the monarch and cour-
tiers is positively nauseating. You will
let me pass him without a quotation.
The succession fell on Colley Cibber
