It is well for poor sinful men, women, and children, however, that they have a brother, even the Lord the Saviour in his human person, who cannot forget them as Marten forgot Reuben, no, not for one moment. Of established reputation, which may be safely placed into the hands of Children, blending Amusement with Instruction. No. 1. MARY LEESON, by Mary Howitt. Illustrated by J. Absolon. No. 2.
Watson's Absolon and Buchanan's Iephthe he considers the best tragedies of his age because only they can "abide the trew touch" of Aristotle's precepts and Euripides's example. They were good because they were according to rule, and in imitation of good models. Watson he especially praises for his refusal to publish Absolon because in several places an anapest was substituted for an iambus.
This took place unseen by the pagans, who first took the alarm when they saw flames circling round the great mast from which floated the banner of their god. Before they could take any steps to extinguish the flames, and while they stood in a panic of apprehension, the Danes, headed by Bishop Absolon, rushed to the assault and succeeded in taking the town.
This made him very angry, but on speaking of it to his foster-brother, Axel Hvide, afterwards Bishop Absolon, he found that the feeling that he lacked the courage of a warrior was general. This contempt made him so ashamed that from that time on he faced danger bravely and was never again known to turn back from any risk.
Illustrated by Absolon. Square, cloth, gilt, 2s. 6d. Myrtle's Little Foundling, And other Tales, with plates by Absolon. Square, cloth, gilt, 2s. 6d. The above with plates beautifully coloured, and gilt edges, 3s. 6d. each. * These stories were invented, at different times, for the amusement of a little girl six years old.
That is all we need say about King Knud, but it must be said of Bishop Absolon that he was a wise patron of knightly arts and historical learning and encouraged the great scholar Saxo Grammaticus to write his famous "History of Denmark," in which were gathered all the old Danish tales that could be learned from the skalds and poets and found in the monasteries of the age.
Valdemar died in 1182, after making such friends of his people and doing so much for them, that when the funeral procession, headed by Bishop Absolon, drew near the church of Ringsted, where the burial was to take place, it was met by a throng of peasants, weeping and lamenting, who begged the privilege of carrying the body of their beloved king to his last resting place.
