Stumbling! by saint Nicolas! every step why at this rate we shall be all night in getting in To happiness or am I to be the sport of fortune and slander destined to be driven forth unconvicted unheard untouch'd if so, why did I not stay at Strasburg, where justice but I had sworn! Come, thou shalt drink to St. Nicolas O Julia! What dost thou prick up thy ears at? 'tis nothing but a man, &c.
"Come hither all sweet maidens soberly, Down looking aye, and with a chasten'd light Hid in the fringes of your eyelids white, And meekly let your fair hands joined be As if so gentle that ye could not see, Untouch'd, a victim of your beauty bright, Sinking away to his young spirit's night, Sinking bewilder'd'mid the dreary sea.
No magazine would have admitted so incorrect a couplet as that of Drayton. "As when we lived untouch'd with these disgraces, When as our kingdom was our dear embraces." Another law of heroic rhyme, which, fifty years ago, was considered as fundamental, was, that there should be a pause, a comma at least, at the end of every couplet.
By this means the monuments of the dead, which elsewhere they brake up and violated, stood untouch'd; escocheons and arms of the nobility and gentry remained undefaced; the seats and stalls of the quire escaped breaking down; only those things which were wont to stuff up parliamentary petitions, and were branded by the leaders of the faction for popery and innovations; in these they took liberty to let loose their wild zeal: they brake down the rails about the Lord's table or altar; they seized upon the velvet of the holy table; and, in contempt of those holy misteries which were celebrated on the table, removed the table itself into a lower part of the church.
If I have chosen to hold the reins, the mastery, it has mainly been to give the way, the power, the road, to the invisible steeds. Haven't I given specimen clues, if no more? At any rate I have written enough to weary myself and I will dispatch it to the printers, and cease. But how much how many topics, of the greatest pointand cogency, I am leaving untouch'd!
From the car windows through Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, or stopping some days along the Topeka and Santa Fe road, in southern Kansas, and indeed wherever I went, hundreds and thousands of miles through this region, my eyes feasted on primitive and rich meadows, some of them partially inhabited, but far, immensely far more untouch'd, unbroken and much of it more lovely and fertile in its unplough'd innocence than the fair and valuable fields of New York's, Pennsylvania's, Maryland's or Virginia's richest farms.
"Come hither, all sweet maidens, soberly, Down looking aye, and with a chasten'd light, Hid in the fringes of your eyelids white, And meekly let your fair hands joined be, As if so gentle that ye could not see, Untouch'd, a victim of your beauty bright, Sinking away to his young spirit's night, Sinking bewilder'd 'mid the dreary sea. 'Tis young Leander toiling to his death.
I have never heard but one essentially perfect orator one who satisfied those depths of the emotional nature that in most cases go through life quite untouch'd, unfed who held every hearer by spells which no conventionalist, high or low nor any pride or composure, nor resistance of intellect could stand against for ten minutes.
