As there were to be two engines, Vincent Templer was made assistant chief, to be in charge of the second apparatus. Other officers were named from among the boys, and, as there were to be two companies, located in different parts of the town, places were made for all the lads who cared to join.
Not long after the Perusal of this Letter I received another upon the same Subject; which by the Date and Stile of it, I take to be written by some young Templer. I design to visit the next Masquerade my self, in the same Habit I wore at Grand Cairo; and till then shall suspend my Judgment of this Midnight Entertainment.
His wife, however, suddenly came into some money, and this windfall enabled him to devote all his energies to his work as composer of operas, without being obliged to fill any fixed post. During the wild days of my youth Marschner lived in Leipzig, where his operas Der Vampir and Templer und Judin saw their first appearance.
"Pinkerton, I should like to have a talk with you and Easton and two or three others Skinner, and Mossop, and Templer yes, and Scudamore." "Just as you like, Clinton.
He was always neglected by the management at Dresden, as though they bore him some grudge, and only his Templer was played at all often. My colleague, Reissiger, had to conduct this opera, and as in his absence I always had to take his place, it also fell to my lot on one occasion to direct a performance of this work. This was during the time that I worked at my Tannhauser.
"Why, I did not take it quite so hotly as you did," replied the other; "but I remained for some time after the King was gone, till I heard he had come back to Ireland; then, of course, I went to join him, fared with the rest, lost everything, and here I am after having been a Templer, and then a captain in the king's guards doing the honours of the King's Highway."
That which we are, we are: One equal templer of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. But I would not rouse you from a lethargy, which, knowing it to be fatal to all hopes of usefulness, you still deliberately prefer.
There when they came, whereas those bricky towers, The which on Themmes brode aged back doth ride, Where now the studious lawyers have their bowers, There whylome wont the Templer knights to bide; Till they decayd through pride. Indeed, it is the most elegant spot in the metropolis.
There is much in this strange story which suggests the legend of the Flying Dutchman, and, bearing in mind the admiration which in his early days Wagner felt for the works of Marschner, it is interesting to trace in 'Hans Heiling' the source of much that is familiar to us in the score of 'Der Fliegende Holländer. Of Marschner's other operas, the most familiar are 'Templer und Jüdin, founded upon Sir Walter Scott's 'Ivanhoe, a fine work, suffering from a confused and disconnected libretto; and 'Der Vampyr, a tale of unmitigated gloom and horror.
I regained my place in time enough to see poor Lieutenant Templer, who had planted the colour on the top, cut to pieces, by one of the enemy rushing out, and cutting him almost in two, as he lay flat upon his face on the top of the breach. The man was immediately shot dead, and trotted to the bottom of the ditch.
