" The art of poetry," says the old Spanish Jew, Alfonso de Baena, " the gay science, is a most subtle and most delightful sort of writing or composition. It is sweet and pleasurable to those who propound and to those who reply ; to utterers and to hearers. This science, or the wisdom or knowledge dependent on it, can only be possessed, received, and acquired by the inspired spirit of the Lord God ; who communicates it, sends it, and influences by it, those alone, who well and wisely, and discreetly and correctly, can create and arrange, and compose and polish, and scan and measure feet, and pauses, and rhymes, and syllables, and accents, by dextrous art, by varied and by novel arrangement of words. And even then, so sub ime is the understanding of this art, and so difficult its attainment, that it can only be learned, possessed, reached, and known to the man who is of noble and of ready invention, elevated and pure discretion, sound and steady judgment; who has seen, and heard, and read many and divers books and writ ings ; who understands all languages ; who has, moreover, dwelt in the courts of kings and nobles ; and who has witnessed and practised many heroic feats. Finally, he must be of high birth, courteous, calm, chivalnc, gracious ; he must be polite and graceful ; he must possess honey, and sugar, and salt, and facility and gayety in his discourse." Tried by this standard, many of the poets in this volume would occupy a smaller space than has been allotted to them ; and others would have been rejected alto gether, as being neither " of ready invention, elevated and pure discretion, nor sound and steady judgment." But it has not been my purpose to illustrate any poetic definition, or establish any theory of art. I have attempted only to bring together, into a compact and convenient form, as large an amount as possible of those English translations which are scattered through many volumes, and are not easily accessible to the general reader. In doing this, it has been thought advisable to treat the subject historically, rather than critically. The materials have in consequence been arranged according to their dates ; and in order to render the literary history of the various countries as complete as these materials and the limits of a single volume would allow, an author of no great note has some times been admitted, or a poem which a severer taste would have excluded. The work is to be regarded as a collection, rather than as a selection ; and in judging any author, it must be borne in mind that translations do not always preserve the PREFACE. rhythm and melody of the original, but often resemble soldiers moving onward when the music has ceased and the time is marked only by the tap of the drum. The languages from which translations are here presented are ten. They are the six Gothic languages of the North of Europe, — Anglo-Saxon, Icelandic, Dan ish, Swedish, German, and Dutch ; and the four Latin languages of the South of Europe, — French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. In order to make the work fulfil entirely the promise of its title, the Celtic and Sclavonic, as likewise the Turkish and Romaic, should have been introduced ; but with these I am not acquainted, and I therefore leave them to some other hand, hoping that ere long a volume may be added to this which shall embrace all the remaining European tongues. The authors upon whom I have chiefly relied, and to whom I am indebted for the greatest number of translations, are Bowring, Herbert, Costello, Taylor, Jamieson, Brooks, Adamson, and Thorpe.* Some of these are already beyond the reach of praise or thanks. To the rest, and to all the translators by whose labors I have profited, I wish to express my sincere acknowledgments. I need not repeat their names ; they will, for the most part, be found in the Table of Contents, and in the list entitled "Translators and Sources" In the preparation of this work I have been assisted by Mr. C. C. Felton, who has furnished me with a large portion of the biographical sketches prefixed to the translations. I have also received much valuable aid from the critical taste and judgment of Mr. George Nichols, during the progress of the work through the press.

Cambridge, May, 1845.

* Since the Anglo-Saxon portion of this book was printed, a copy of the " Codex Exonicnsis " spoken of on pages 6, 7, as " the Exeter Manuscript," has been received.

S. A." . 1842. 8vo. The following translations may also be mentioned: "Master Wace his Chronicle or the Norman Conquest, from the Roman dv Rou," by Edgar Taylor, London, 8vo. ; and "Reynard the Fox, a renowned Apologue of the Middle Age, reproduced in Rhyme," by S Naylor, London, 1845, 8vo.

XX vu 274 G ERMAN POETRY. GOTTFRIED A UGUST BURGER.

This p oet was born in 1743, at Wolmers- wende, near Halberstadt, where his father was preacher. The development of his powers was slow and not very promising at first, though he began early to make verses on the model of the hymn-books. At the age often he went lo Aschersleben to reside with his grandfather, who undertook his support ; thence he was sent lo school in Halle, and, in 1764, began the study of theology in the University there ; but, in 1768, he removed to Gottingen for the pur pose of studying law. The irregularities of his conduct were such that his grandfather with drew his support ; but lie received assistance from several distinguished young men, with whom he lived on terms of intimacy, and in conjunction with whom he studied the ancient classics, the literature of France, Italy, Spain, and England, giving particular attention to Shakspeare and the old English ballads. In 1772, he received a small judicial office in Al- tengleichen, near Gottingen, and devoted him self assiduously to the cultivation of poetry. He maintained a close connection with the Gottingen circle of poets, and attracted much attention by his writings. In 1774, he married, but his marriage proved unhappy. His wife died a few years after, and he married her sister, for whom he had long cherished a violent passion. This second wife was his celebrated Molly; she died within a year of her marriage, in 1786. In 1789, he was appointed Professor Extraor dinary in Gottingen. In 17(10, he was married a third time, to a young lady in Swabia, who had publicly offered him her hand in a poem. This marriage also proved unhappy, and he was di vorced two years after. His misery was increas ed by pecuniary embarrassments, from which he had never been free ; and he died, in 1794, in circumstances of great wretchedness. Burger i s a poet of fiery and original genius. His ballads are among the noblest in the German language. His great aim was to make poetry popular, and his success in this respect was brilliant. Schiller, however, criticised him with a severity, which is now admitted lo have been unjust. He is chiefly known as a writer of bal lads, of which his " Ellenore " is the best. This remarkable composition has been rendered fa miliar to English readers by the translations of Taylor and Scott. Others also have tried their hands upon it.

And soon she herde a tinkling hand, And hurry-skurry off they go, That twirled at the pin; Unheeding wet or dry ; And thro her door, that opend not, And horse and rider snort and blow, These words were breathed in : — And sparkling pebbles fly.

" Tho blasts athwarte the hawthorn hiss, Forth creepes a swarthy funeral train, I may not harbour here ; A corse is on the biere ; My spurs are sett, my courser pawes, Like croke of todes from lonely moored, My hour of flight is nere. The chauntings meete the eere.

" The dead, the dead can ride apace : It sweeps the fields, through the forest breaks, Our wed-bed here is fit : And the ice bursts away on streams and lakes.

And when he from his steed alytte, And it groaned and droned, and around the house His armure, black as cinder, Howled storm and wind with a dismal sound ; Did moulder, moulder all awaye, And the tollman aloof sprang forth on the roof, As were it made of tinder. And gazed on the tumult around : uO merciful Heaven ! thy mercy show ! His head became a naked skull ; Lost, lost, and forlorn ! who shall rescue me Nor hair nor eyne had he : now?

Thump ! thump ! the heavy ice-cakes rolled, And piled on either shore they lay; And at his dry and boney heel From either shore the wild waves tore No spur was left to bee : The arches with their piers away.
