That monody would be shorn of its interest, if it were inserted anywhere else. The Psalms are more impersonal and more strictly religious than that, and hence their universal application; only we say, we can easily conceive that the revival of them in the order of their history, and in all the purity of their native pathos, would render them more attractive.
"For it is as profitable for them to know," he says, "how to sing a liturgic monody properly, or to be able to play a Corelli sonata in a suitable style, as it is for composers to study the structure of a motet or a suite."
Charles Cowan's privately printed Reminiscences for Scott's recollections of his visit to Portsmouth in 1816, and his stories, of the wonders he had seen, to the little boy at his side. Compare Froude's History, vol. iv. p. 424. Mr. Horace Smith, one of the authors of Rejected Addresses. An anonymous novel, published some years earlier in 4 vols. 12mo. Cowper's Monody. November 1.
Coleridge's imagination may be estimated by the following lines, in his Monody on Chatterton. "O, Chatterton! that thou wert yet alive; Sure thou would'st spread the canvass to the gale, And love with us the tinkling team to drive O'er peaceful freedom's UNDIVIDED dale; And we at sober eve would round thee throng, Hanging enraptured on thy stately song!
"Look here, Monody," sez I, interruptin', "this ain't no news. What are you gettin' at?" "You got friends there, ain't ya?" sez he. "I got one friend anyhow," sez I, "but as long as you've insisted on taggin' along after me, you'll see the place an' you'll see my friend; though I somehow doubt if you'll be invited in for a meal." "Is your friend a lady?" sez Monody.
"You're as obstinate as ever!" shouts Jabez. "He 's probably out of his head." "No, he ain't out of his head," sez Monody, in a low, soft voice, but without openin' his eyes more'n a crack. "He ain't out of his head an' he ain't forgot nothin' he ever knew, an' it'll be better all around if he's allowed to go in peace."
The song had been composed by the poet attached to his house; it was graven in the stone of the second rock-room of the tomb, and Neferhotep had left a plot of ground in trust to the Necropolis, with the charge of administering its revenues for the payment of a minstrel, who every-year at the feast of the dead should sing the monody to the accompaniment of his lute.
No laws or literature for her, poor woman: her baby was dead and her reason was gone. He saw Riccangela, the widow, on the beach, with her large rough hands, pouring forth her heart in a wild monody over the remains of her puny boy, who was drowned, while the homicidal sea chanted a lugubrious accompaniment or mocked the agony of the song.
Jabez took the window facin' the house, me the one facin' the dug-out, an' the sub-cook facin' the corral. I could shoot cleaner'n Monody, so he stood by to do my loadin', an' we proceeded to waste ammunition. It's enough to make the oldest man the' is reckless, when you think of the weight o' lead good aimers can throw without spillin' any blood.
"How did that happen, Monody?" sez he, pointin' to the sub-cook. "I I reckon one o' the boys mistook him in the dark," sez Monody. "I reckon you lie," sez Brophy. "The' ain't no white man would be beast enough. It's one o' your own heathen tricks." I was surprised at the way Brophy talked.
