Footnote 3:

It is surprising that the satirist’s attention was not attracted to

the scene in _Stella_, in which one of the heroines describes the

rapid growth of her passion to its object: “I know not if you observed

that you had enchained my interest from the first moment of our first

meeting. I at least soon became aware that your eyes sought mine. Ah,

Fernando, then my uncle brought the music, you took your violin, and,

as you played, my eyes rested upon you free from care. I studied every

feature of your face; and, during an unexpected pause, you fixed your

eyes upon—upon me! They met mine! How I blushed, how I looked away!

You observed it, Fernando; for from that moment I felt that you looked

oftener over your music-book, often played out of tune, to the

disturbance of my uncle. Every false note, Fernando, went to my heart.

It was the sweetest confusion I ever felt in my life.”

The whole of this _jeu d’esprit_ has been claimed for FRERE, but on

THE WIDOW.

SAPPHICS.

Cold was the night wind; drifting fast the snows fell;

Wide were the downs, and shelterless and naked;

When a poor wand’rer struggled on her journey,

Weary and way-sore.

Drear were the downs, more dreary her reflections;

Cold was the night wind, colder was her bosom:

She had no home, the world was all before her,

She had no shelter.

Fast o’er the heath a chariot rattled by her:

“Pity me!” feebly cried the poor night wanderer.

“Pity me, strangers! lest with cold and hunger

Here I should perish.

“Once I had friends—but they have all forsook me!

Once I had parents—they are now in heaven!

I had a home once—I had once a husband—

Pity me, strangers!

“I had a home once—I had once a husband—

I am a widow, poor and broken-hearted!”

Loud blew the wind, unheard was her complaining;

On drove the chariot.

Then on the snow she laid her down to rest her;

She heard a horseman: “Pity me!” she groaned out.

Loud was the wind, unheard was her complaining;

On went the horseman.

Worn out with anguish, toil, and cold and hunger,

Down sunk the wanderer; sleep had seized her senses:

There did the traveller find her in the morning—

God had released her.]

DACTYLICS.

Weary way-wanderer, languid and sick at heart,

Sorely thy little ones drag by thee barefooted,

Cold is the baby that hangs at thy bending back—

Meagre and livid, and screaming its wretchedness.

Woe-begone mother, half anger, half agony,

As over thy shoulder thou lookest to hush the babe,

Bleakly the blinding snow beats in thy haggard face.

Thy husband will never return from the war again;

Cold is thy hopeless heart, even as charity—

Cold are thy famished babes—God help thee, widowed one!]

The Proclamation against _Seditious Writings_, however, was supported

by some influential Whigs. “PITT had previously sent copies of it to

GRANVILLE LEVESON GOWER, first Marquis of STAFFORD. He died in 1848.]

Footnote 25:

The original poem as translated, or rather paraphrased, by Prof. J. D.

Carlyle, is here subjoined:—

THE CHOICE.

Sabla! thou saw’st th’ exulting foe

In fancied triumphs crown’d:

Thou heard’st their frantic females throw

These galling taunts around:

“Make now YOUR CHOICE—the terms we give,

Desponding victims, hear!

These fetters on your _hands_ receive,

Or in your _hearts_ the spear.”

“And is the conflict o’er,” we cried,

And lie we at your feet,

“And dare you vauntingly decide

The fortune we must meet?

“A brighter day we soon shall see,

Tho’ now the prospect lowers,

And Conquest, Peace, and Liberty

Shall gild our future hours.”

The foe advanc’d—in firm array

We rush’d o’er SABLA’S sands,

And the red sabre mark’d our way

Amidst their yielding bands.

Then as they writh’d in death’s cold grasp,

We cried, “OUR CHOICE is made!

These _hands_ the sabre’s hilt shall clasp,

Your _hearts_ shall have the blade!”

As Carlyle’s version is although a spirited not a faithful one, the

Editor is induced to present a literal translation, from _Translations

of Ancient Arabian Poetry, by C. J. Lyall_, 1885, 8vo., p. 10. The

contest was not a battle but one of the frequent skirmishes between

neighbouring clans. _Sabla_ is Carlyle’s rendering of _Sahbal a Wady_,

in Arabia, overlooked by twin peaks.

[W. H. Ireland, the Shakespeare forger.—ED.]

Footnote 27:

[The above ballad refers to an attempt by FRANCIS, fifth DUKE OF

BEDFORD, to escape the payment of the Assessed Taxes upon twenty-five

of his servants, on the plea that as the Helpers did not wear a

Livery, and were engaged by the week, they were not liable to the

duty. This defence was, however, unsuccessful.—ED.]

Footnote 28:

_Twaie coneynge Clerks._—_Coneynge_ is the participle of the verb to

_ken_ or _know_. It by no means imports what we now denominate a

_knowing one_: on the contrary, _twaie coneynge clerks_ means _two

intelligent and disinterested clergymen_.

Footnote 29:

_Seely_ is evidently the original of the modern word _silly_. A _seely

wight_, however, by no means imports what is now called a _silly

fellow_, but means a man of simplicity of character, devoid of all

_vanity_, and of any strange, ill-conducted ambition, which, if

successful, would immediately be fatal to the man who indulged it.

Footnote 30:

_Good advisament_ means—_cool consideration_.

Footnote 31:

[FRANCIS, fifth DUKE OF BEDFORD, died after a severe surgical

operation, March 2, 1802, at the early age of thirty-six. “The Duke of

Bedford’s energetic and capacious mind,” says Lord Ossory, “his

enlarged way of thinking, and elevated sentiments, together with the

habits and pursuits of his life, peculiarly qualified him for his high

station and princely fortune. He was superior to bad education and

disadvantages for forming his character, and turned out certainly a

first-rate man, though not free from imperfections. His uprightness

and truth were unequalled; his magnanimity, fortitude and

consideration, in his last moments, taken so unprepared as he was,

were astonishing.”

On the 16th March, C. J. Fox, in moving for a new writ for the borough

of Tavistock, vacated by Lord John Russell, who had succeeded to the

titles and estates of his deceased brother, took occasion to pronounce

a beautiful and glowing eulogium on his departed friend and firm

supporter.—ED.]

Footnote 32:

[The _Anti-Jacobin_ (in No. 8) thus speaks of the threatened invasion

of this country, for which “they have publicly formed, and (as they

term it) _organized_ their ARMY OF ENGLAND. Its Advanced Guard is to

be formed from a chosen Corps of Banditti, the most distinguished for

Massacre and Plunder. It is to be preceded, as it naturally ought, by

_the Genius of French Revolutionary Liberty_, and it will be

_welcomed_, as they tell us, ‘on the _ensanguined_ shores of Britain,

by the generous friends of Parliamentary Reform’. In the interval,

however, till these golden dreams are realized, it is necessary that

this ‘_Army of England_,’ while it yet remains in France, should be

fed, paid, and clothed. For this purpose a new and separate fund is

provided (in the same spirit with the rest of their measures), and is

to be termed ‘THE LOAN OF ENGLAND,’ to be raised by anticipation on

the security and mortgage of all the Lands and Property of this

Country. This _gasconade_, which sounds too extravagant for reality,

is nevertheless seriously announced by a message from the Executive

Directory; and we are told that the Merchants of Paris are eagerly

offering to advance, on such a security, the money which is to defray

the expenses of the Expedition against this country.”—ED.]

Footnote 33:

[The above verses refer to the memorable events of the 18th Fructidor,

Sept. 4, 1797 (the model of Prince Louis Napoléon’s _coup d’état_,

Dec. 2, 1851), when Rewbell, Barras, and Laréveillère-Lepaux, on the

plea that the Republic was in danger, got rid of their

fellow-directors, Carnot (grandfather to the present President of the

French Republic) and Barthélemy, who were replaced by Merlin and

François de Neufchateau, dispersed by military force the members of

the Five Hundred and the Ancients, fifty-three of whom were condemned

to transportation—banished the editors, &c., of forty-two

newspapers—annulled the elections of forty-eight departments—and

effected other arbitrary measures without opposition. The springs of

the movement were throughout directed by Buonaparte, seconded by Hoche

and Augereau. This event was the true era of the commencement of

military despotism in France. But THIERS considers “the Directory by

these means prevented civil war, and substituted an arbitrary but

necessary act of power, carried out with energy, but with all the

mildness and moderation that revolutionary times would allow”.—ED.]

Footnote 34:

[Alluding to the National Thanksgiving for the three great naval

victories achieved by Lords Howe, St. Vincent, and Duncan. On this

occasion the King and Queen, with their family, the Houses of Lords

and Commons, &c., went in procession to St. Paul’s, where Divine

Service was performed. The Government Papers attributed to the

Opposition Press a desire to throw discredit on this proceeding. “The

consequence of the Procession to St. Paul’s” (says the _Morning Post_,

of Dec. 25) “was, that _one_ man returned thanks to the Almighty, and

_one_ woman was _kicked_ TO DEATH.”—ED.]

Footnote 35:

[Mary Frampton, in her journal (Dec. 20, 1797), gives a lively account

of the King’s attendance at St. Paul’s for Duncan’s Victory on the

11th Oct. “The King,” she says, “stopped under the dome, and conversed

for some time with Lord Duncan and the sailors; and, to the great

scandal of good church-goers, did not hold his tongue for any

considerable time together during the service.... Pitt was attacked at

Temple Bar by three ruffians, who rushed from the mob and seized upon

the door of his carriage undoubtedly with an intent to drag him out,

but three of the Light Horse Volunteers rode up, and backing their

horses against them, sent them head over heels to the place from

whence they came, rather faster than they ventured out.” Page 99.—ED.]

Footnote 36:

[PRINCE TALLEYRAND.—ED.]

Footnote 37:

GENERAL DANICAN, in his Memoirs, tells us, that while he was in

command, a felon, who had assumed the name of Brutus, chief of a

revolutionary tribunal at Rennes, said to his colleagues, on Good

Friday, “Brothers, we must put to death this day, at the same hour the

counter-revolutionist Christ died, that young devotee who was lately

arrested”: and this young lady was guillotined accordingly, and her

corpse treated with _every possible species of indecent insult_, to

the infinite amusement of a vast multitude of spectators.

Footnote 38:

The reader will find in the works of PETER PORCUPINE [W. COBBETT] (a

spirited and instructive writer) an ample and satisfactory commentary

on this and the following stanza. The French themselves inform us,

that by the several modes of destruction here alluded to, upwards of

30,000 persons were butchered at Lyons, and this once magnificent city

almost levelled to the ground, by the command of a wretched actor

(COLLOT D’HERBOIS), whom they had formerly hissed from the stage. From

the same authorities we learn, that at Nantz 27,000 persons, of both

sexes, were murdered; chiefly by drowning them in plugged boats. The

waters of the Loire became putrid, and were forbidden to be drunk, by

the savages who conducted the massacre:—that at Paris 150,000, and in

La Vendée 300,000 persons were destroyed.—Upon the whole, the French

themselves acknowledge, that TWO MILLIONS of human beings (exclusive

of the military) have been sacrificed to the principles of EQUALITY

and the RIGHTS OF MAN: 250,000 of these are stated to be WOMEN, and

30,000 CHILDREN. In this last number, however, they do not include the

unborn; nor those who started from the bodies of their agonizing

parents, and were stuck upon the bayonets of those very men who are

now to compose the “ARMY OF ENGLAND,” amidst the most savage

acclamations.

[At the beginning of the revolution, some companies of children,

called _Bonsbons_, were dressed and drilled as National Guards, as a

compliment to the Dauphin, who to please the Parisians sometimes

donned that uniform. Similar companies were afterwards formed in

Brittany, and employed to shoot those poor wretches whom the two

guillotines could not dispatch in sufficient numbers!—_Biog. Univ._,

art. _St. André_.—ED.]

Footnote 39:

At Lyons, JABOGUES, the _second_ murderer (the Actor being the

_first_), in his speech to the Democratic Society, used these

words—“Down with the edifices raised for the profit or the pleasure of

the rich; down with them ALL. COMMERCE and ARTS are useless to a

warlike people, and are the destruction of that SUBLIME EQUALITY which

France is determined to spread over the globe.” Such are the

consequences of RADICAL REFORM! Let any merchant, farmer, or landlord;

let any husband or father consider this, and then say, “_Shall we or

shall we not contribute a moderate sum_, IN PROPORTION TO OUR ANNUAL

EXPENDITURE, _for the purpose of preserving ourselves from the fate of

Lyons, La Vendée, and Nantz?_”

Pitt, and acted as Secretary to Lord Malmesbury during his

unsuccessful negotiations with the French for peace, at Lisle, 1797.

brilliant wits of the Whig Party. At Eton his verses were hung up as

specimens of excellence. Great expectations were raised as to his

eloquence in the House of Commons. But his timidity was so great that

he broke down in his first speech, and this failure, joined with

delicate health, prevented a second attempt. Horace Walpole speaks of

his “brilliancy and fire,” and of his own inferiority to him. His

_bons mots_ were innumerable. He died in 1804. The following is Lord

Ossory’s opinion of the social talents of some of the best talkers of

his day:—“Horace Walpole was an agreeable, lively man, very affected,

always aiming at wit, in which he fell very short of his old friend,

GEORGE SELWYN, who possessed it in the most genuine but indescribable

degree. HARE’S conversation abounded with wit, and perhaps of a more

lively kind; so did BURKE’S, though with much alloy of bad taste; but,

upon the whole, my brother the General [FITZPATRICK] was the most

agreeable man in society of any of them.”—MS., R. Vernon Smith.—ED.]

Footnote 50:

Line 19.—[General FITZPATRICK was one of Fox’s most attached friends

and political supporters. BOSWELL, speaking of a dinner at

BEAUCLERK’S, 24th April, 1779, says, on a celebrated wit being

mentioned (believed to be Fitzpatrick), “JOHNSON replied, ‘I have been

several times in company with him, but never perceived any strong

power of wit. He produces a general effect by various means; he has a

cheerful countenance and a gay voice. Besides his trade is wit. It

would be as wild in him to come into company without merriment, as for

a highwayman to take the road without his pistols.’” WALPOLE (in his

_Journal of the Reign of George III._, i. 167, and ii. 560) describes

him as “an agreeable young man of parts,” and mentions his “genteel

irony and badinage”. He was Lord Shelburne’s brother-in-law, at whose

house Johnson might have met him, as well as in Fox’s company. Rogers

(_Table Talk_, p. 104) said that Fitzpatrick was at one time nearly as

famous for his wit as Hare. He possessed no mean poetic talents,

particularly for compositions of wit, fancy, and satire. To the

_Rolliad_ he contributed “Extract from the Dedication”; Nos. v., ix.

and xii., in Part I.; and No. v. in Part II. In the _Political

Eclogues_, he wrote “The Liars”; and “Pindaric Ode” (No. xv.)—also,

“Incantation for raising a Phantom, imitated from Macbeth,” in the

_Political Miscellanies_.

GENERAL RICHARD FITZPATRICK’S EPITAPH ON HIMSELF.

“MY OWN EPITAPH.

“Whose turn is next? This monitory Stone

Replies, vain Passenger, perhaps thy own.

If, idly curious, thou wilt seek to know

Whose relics mingle with the dust below,

Enough to tell thee, that his destin’d span

On Earth he dwelt,—and, like thyself, a Man.

Nor distant far th’ inevitable day

When thou, poor mortal, shalt like him be clay.

Through life he walk’d unemulous of fame,

Nor wish’d beyond it to preserve a name.

Content, if Friendship, o’er his humble bier,

Drop but the heartfelt tribute of a tear;

Though countless ages should unconscious glide,

Nor learn that ever he had liv’d, or died.

“R. F.”

Such is the epitaph placed on a stone sarcophagus in the usual form,

in the churchyard at Sunninghill, close to the house where Gen.

Fitzpatrick’s friend, G. Ellis, died.—Nichols, _Lit. Illustr._, vol.

vii., pp. 633–4.—ED.]

Townshend. He represented Cambridge till ousted by PITT at the general

election in 1784. In 1788 he became the colleague of FOX for

Westminster. He afterwards represented Knaresborough for twenty-five

years: his colleague in 1797 was HARE. He had great powers of wit and

satire. In the _Political Eclogues_ (subjoined to _The Rolliad_), he

wrote the one entitled “Jekyll”. To the _Probationary Odes for the
