The next manuscript sent to me was "The Dead Pan," and the poetess at once started on her bright and noble career. The poem with which Miss Barrett thus made her bow to the world of letters was 'The Romaunt of Margret, which appeared in the July number of the magazine. Mr.
'I can tell you, their sack and their pasties, their march-pane and blanc-manger, far exceed aught that a poor soldier can set before you. 'Moreover, observed Humfrey, 'the ladies ought to see the romaunt of the Cat complete. 'How! cried Jaqueline, 'is it, then, true that this Vittentone is the miller's son whose cat wore boots and made his fortune?
Apart from several remarkable reminiscences introduced by Chaucer from Dante, as well as from the irrepressible "Romaunt of the Rose," he has changed his original in points which are not mere matters of detail or questions of convenience.
As in other floral rites, the selection of plants varies on the Continent, branches of the elder being carried about in Savoy, and in Austrian Silesia the Maypole is generally made of fir. According to an Italian proverb, the universal lover is "one who hangs every door with May." Various plants are associated with Whitsuntide, and according to Chaucer, in his "Romaunt of the Rose":
In his poems called the Romaunt, and the Rose, and Troilus and Creseide, he gave offence to some court ladies by the looseness of his description, which the lady Margaret resented, and obliged him to atone for it, by his Legend of good Women, a piece as chaste as the others were luxuriously amorous, and, under the name of the Daisy, he veils lady Margaret, whom of all his patrons he most esteemed.

We have it in Chaucer's "Romaunt of the Rose" : "For also welle wole love be sette Under ragges as rich rochette, And else as wel be amourettes In mournyng blak, as bright burnettes." He is called in Celtic Broindeag, is a small, friendly, crumb-eating, and burnet bird, and behaves much as these ancient legends describe. The name burnet still survives in Somerset.
It does not contain any of those poems which have proved the most popular among its authoress's complete works, except 'Cowper's Grave; but 'The Seraphim' was a poem which deserved to attract attention, and among the minor poems were 'The Poet's Vow, 'Isobel's Child, 'The Romaunt of Margret, 'My Doves, and 'The Sea-mew. The volume did not suffice to win any wide reputation for Miss Barrett, and no second edition was called for; on the other hand, it was received with more than civility, with genuine cordiality, by several among the reviewers, though they did not fail to note its obvious defects.
The birds singing their matins around the poet, and the sun shining brightly through his windows stained with many a figure of poetic legend, and upon the walls painted in fine colours "both text and gloss, and all the Romaunt of the Rose" is not this a picture of Chaucer by his own hand, on which, one may love to dwell?
There are two main branches found everywhere, from the Romaunt of the Rose to the Purplish Magazine; the Story of Adventure, and the Love Story. The Story-of-Adventure branch is not so thick as the other by any means, but it is a sturdy bough for all that.
