It must be a respectable, virtuous maiden, with the fear of heaven not an old woman like Mrs. Simons, but one who can bear me robust grandchildren. The grandchildren thou hast given me are sickly, and they fear not the Most High. Ah! why did'st thou drag me to this impious country? Could'st thou not let me die in peace?
But a better testimony than these volumes to the general admiration for Sidney's talents, and to his position as a patron of literature, is to be found in the beautiful lines in which Spenser lamented his benefactor, and in two sentences by poor Tom Nash , who knew but too well the value of what he and his fellow-laborers had lost: "Gentle Sir Philip Sidney, thou knewest what belonged to a scholar; thou knewest what pains, what toil, what travel conduct to perfection; well could'st thou give every virtue his encouragement, every art his due, every writer his desert, cause none more virtuous, witty, or learned than thyself.
What joy could'st take, or what repose, In countries so unciviliz'd as those?

And when these are temperate known, The soil's all barren sand, or rocky stone. Cowley.
They'll drag me hence to the imperial court That hateful haunt of falsehood and intrigue; There do detested marriage bonds await me. Love, love alone, your love can rescue me. RUDENZ. And thou could'st be content, love, to live here, In my own native land to be my own?
Gladden thy heart at a victory, on which thou could'st not, in reason, have counted, and leave the interests of the state to those that are wiser than thee, and more fitted to sustain its cares."

Thou could'st not prize the rose and the nightingale, but thou wast ready to kiss the swineherd for the sake of a trumpery plaything. Thou art rightly served." He then went back to his own little kingdom, and shut the door of his palace in her face. Now she might well sing, "Ach! du lieber Augustin, Alles ist weg, weg, weg!"
If thou could'st succeed in falling on the rear from the north of Kadesh, while the foot soldiers seize the camp of the Asiatics from the south, the fortress will be thine before night. The mountain path that thou must follow, so as not to be discovered, is not a bad one." "Are you ill as well as your brother, man?" asked the king. "Your voice trembles." "I was never better," answered the Mohar.
Then came the young knight nearer yet, his face radiant with sudden joy, his white hands clasped. "Lord!" he whispered, "O Beltane, could'st indeed forgive all all harm done thee, howsoever great or small thy mind doth hold them could'st forgive all!"
Thou, whom these eyes saw never, say friends true Who say my soul, helped onward by my song, Though all unwittingly, has helped thee too? I gave but of the little that I knew: How were the gift requited, while along Life's path I pace, could'st thou make weakness strong, Help me with knowledge for Life's old, Death's new! R. B.
