But even Windischgraetz seems to have been somewhat frightened by the undaunted attitude of the people; and when he found that his notice was torn down from the walls, and that a new insurrection was about to break out, he sent for Professor Hye and entreated him to preserve order.
"I did not see either of those craft with sails," I said to Tom Jecks, as we stood watching the following boat, which was evidently making every possible effort to come up with us. "No, sir, 'twarn't neither o' them. I see 'em put off from a bit higher up," said Jecks. "My hye! they are in a hurry, sir. You'd better tell Mr Brooke he must shake out a reef instead o' taking one up."
Our Pilgrim Fathers accepted these absurd, tautological verses gladly, and sang them gratefully; but we know the spirit of poesy could never have existed in them, else they would have fought hard against abandoning such majestic psalms as Sternhold's "The Lord descended from above and bow'd the heavens hye And underneath his feete he cast the darkness of the skye.
Hye thee, and give the world yet one dwarfe more, Such as it got when thou thy selfe was bore.
In doing this they had to abandon, however, such spirited lines as Sternhold's "The earth did shake, for feare did quake the hills their bases shook. Removed they were, in place most fayre at God's right fearfull looks. "He rode on hye, and did soe flye Upon the cherubins He came in sight and made his flight Upon the winges of windes." They sung instead,
"Keep a sharp look out for a boat somewhere off here. Three prisoners in her escaping." "My hye!" muttered Tom Bodger. "That's nice. Resisting the law too. Strikes me as we're going to be in a mess." Aleck, in the midst of his excitement in his novel position, had somewhat similar thoughts to those of his rough sailor companion.
One wound, which leaves a lasting scar, is the result of an apparently trivial deception. His purity and honor in all things else save him from death. Chaucer sings in the same key: "Hold the hye wey, and let thy gost thee lede, And trouthe shall delivere, it is no drede."
And upon tho hilles growen trees of cedre, that ben fulle hye, and thei beren longe apples, and als grete as a mannes heved.
This great poem is the work of a mind that loved to elaborate purely subjective images. The pictures were not painted from gazing at the outside world. We feel that they are mostly creations of the imagination, and that few of them could exist in a real world. There is no bower in the bottom of the sea, "built of hollow billowes heaped hye," and no lion ever follows a lost maiden to protect her.
And thei ben made of ston, fulle wel made of massones craft: of the whiche two ben merveylouse grete and hye; and the tothere ne ben not so grete. And every gerner hathe a zate, for to entre with inne, a lytille hyghe fro the erthe. For the lond is wasted and fallen, sithe the gerneres were made. And with inne thei ben alle fulle of serpentes.
