Hardly any woman, certainly aot I, would care to be put on rtcord as endorsing everything that Swinburne has written; but objections to the contrary not withstanding, there is no use in denying that the world is right when it gives him the fame of a master melodist in his own chosen realm of poetry: We re member Lanier's arraignment of his work: “He invited me to eat; the service was silver and gold, but no food therein save pepper and salt;” and we may agree with him that Swinburne gives us. at times, unsubstantial, and even unwholesomeyfare; bui in spite of it all, we are forced to> admit that the service is sil ver and gold; and we read Swin burne, and read him again, be cause of his matchless skill as the magician of sweet sounds. It is hard to make a choice of in stances of this peculiar gift, be cause it is such an unvarying characteristic of Swinburne’s verse; and so, passing over, as too often quoted, the familiar little poem entitled “A Match,’’ which every one l no\vs has been said to be the uirtsi perfect bit of versification in the language, I take almost at random a few stanzas selected from “Rococo.” one of the celebrated “Poems and Ballads:” & ‘Take hands, and part with laughter; Touch lips, and part with tears; Once more and no more after Whatever comes with years. We twain shall not re-measure The ways that left us twain, * Nur crush the lees of pleasure rYom sanguine grains of pain. We twain once well in sunder. What will the mad gods do For hate with me. 1 wonder, Or what for love with you? Forget them till November, And dream there’s April yet; Forget that I remember. And dream that I forget. Remembrance may recover. And time bring back to time The name of your first Iqver, The ring of my first rhyme; But rose-leaves of December, The frosts of June shall fret. The day that you remember. The day that I forget.” No person who has an ear can fail to be charmed with the de lightful ease and sweetness of such versification. Its musib lingers in the memory. In the lines to Barry Cornwall we have a similar swing of rythm with fine, alliterative effects: t > _ j>' “No time casts down, no time upraises. -- Such loves, such memories and such praises. As need no grace of sun or shower. No saving screen from frost or thunder. To tend and house around and under The imperishable and peerless flower.” Beside^Swinburne, and belong ing in spirit to the same school, we might place Dante (labriel Rossetti, the poet whose powers of pictorial and vivid representa tion chieflv impress us. His “Sister Helen.;* “The Bride’s Prelude,” and “A I^ast Confes sion” are strongly dramatic, and exhibit descriptive talent <>f the brilliant kind that takes shape as a mental picture and impresses us lastiugly: In “A Last Con fession” occurs this beautiful description of a beautiful woman: “Yef, let me think i f her as then; for so Her image. Father, is not .like the sights Whiih come when vou are gone. She had a mouth I Made to bring death to life the underlip Sucked in. as if it strove to kiss itself. Her face was ever pale, as when one stoops Over wan water; and the darK crisped hair And the hair’s shadow made it paler still: — Deep-serried locks, the darkness of the cloud Where the moon’s gaze is set in eddying gloom. Her body bore her neck as the tree’s stem Bears the top branch; and as the branch sustains The flower of the year’s pride, her high neck bone That face made wonderful with night and day. Her voice was swift, yet ever the last words Fell lingeringly; and rounded finger-tips She had, that clung a little where they touched And then were gone o’ the in stant Her great eyes That sometimes turned half diz zily beneath The passionate lids, as faint, when she would speak, Had also in them hidden springs of mirth. Which under the dark lashes evermore Shook to her laugh, as when a bird flies low Between the water and the wil low-leaves. And the shade quivers till he wins the light” MASHA WVILLL Mashawville.
