PREFACE TO

THE THIRD VOLUME.

THE present volume contains the ^x metrical tales which were composed witbb the years i8t3 and 1815, the Hebrew Melodies^ and the minor poems of 1809-1816. With the exception of the first fifteen poems (1809-1811) —Chansonsde f^j'flrg»,astheymightbecalled—the volume as a. whole was produced on English soil. Beginning witfj the Giaour^ which followed in the wake of CAt/de Harold and shared its triumph, and ending with the ill-omened DontesHc Pieces^ or Poems oftlte Sârattofi^ the poems which Byron wrote in his own country synchronize with his popularity as a poet by the acclaim and suffrages.ot his own countrymen. His greatest work, by which his lasting fame has been established, and by which his relative merits ^ a great poet will be judged in the fiiture, was yet to come; but the work which made his name, which is stamped with his sign-mantial, and whidi has come to be regarded as distinctively and

PREFACE TO THE THIRD VOLUME. Vll

Pirates," who once held the field, and now seem to have gone tinder in the struggle for poetical existence t

To what, then, may we attribute the passing away of interest and enthtfaiasm ? To the caprice of fashion, to an insistence on a more faultless tcdmlqm^ to a nicer taste in cthitaV sentiment, to a preference for a subtler treatment of- lofiiei: themes ? More certainly, and more particularly, I think, to the blurring of outline and the blotting out of detail due to lapse of time and the shifting of the intellectual standpoint.

However oiuch the charm of novelty and the contagion of enthusiasm may have contributed to the success of the Turkish and otlier Tales, it is in the bst degree improbable that our grandfathers and greatgrandfathers were enamoured, not of a reality, but of an illusion bom of ignorance or of vulgar bewilderment. They were carried away because they breathed the sajne atmosphere as the singer; and being undistracted by ethical, or grammatical, or metrical ofTences, they not only read these poems with avidity, but understood enough of what tbey read to be touched by their vitality, to realize their verisimilitude.

T<mt (bmprmdrt est t&utpardonntr. Nay, more, the knowledge, the comprehension of essential greatness in art, in i^ture, or in man is not to know that there*is aught tOviorgiye.

Criticism, however subtle, however suggesHve, however luminous, wiU not bridge over the gap between the past and the present, will not supply ,the sufficing knowledge. It is delightful and interesting and, in a measure. mstmctive to know what great poets of his own time and of ours have thought of Byron, how he " strikes " them • but unless we are ourselves saturated with Ijis thought and . style unless we leam to breathe his atmosphere by reading the Jocks which he r e ^ picturing to ourselves the scenes which he saw.-unless we aspire to his ideals and snffer his lim tations. we am in «« •, .

. THE Poems afterwards entitled " Occasional Heces," which Were iactuded in die several editions of the Collected Works issued by Murray, 1819-1831, numbered fifty-seven in' all. They may be described as tiie aggregate of the shorter poems written between the years 1809-1818, which the author thought worthy of a permanent piace among bis poetical works. Of these ike first twenty-nine appeared in successive editions of CAiliU Harold {CvsAos I., II.) [viz. fourteen in the first edition, twenty in the second, and twerity-nine in the seventh edition], white the thirtieth, the Ode on the Death of Sir Peter ParkeTy was originally attached to ffeArewMehês. The remaining twenty-seven pieces consist of six poems first published in tho Second, Edition of the Ccrsau^, i8i4; eleven wWch fonned tiie collection entitled^ Poems," 1816; six which were appended to the Prisoner ^ CS*/ft'»,, I?«cetaber, i8i6j the îry Mmrnful Ballad, zxA.Hat Sonnet hy VUtorelli, which accompanied the Fourth Canto of Chtlde Harold^ itit.^ the Sketchyiissit included by Murray in his îtion of 1819: and the Ode to Venice, wbich appeared in' the same volume

And should her lover press the plain, She hurls tbe«pear, tier love's avenger.

Or siugC'to her attuned guitar Of Christian knight or M6orisb hero,

Or coun^ her beads with fairy hand iQeneath, the twinkling rays of Hesper,'- .

1 EKTER thy garden of roses, Bclov&l and fair Hatdde,

Each morning where Flora reposes, • For siircly I sec her in thee. •

Oh, Lovely I thus low I implore ihee, Receive this fond truth from my topguc,

Which utters its song to adore thee, Yet Ucmbles for what it has sung;

As the branch, at the bidding of Nature, Adds fragrance and fruit to the tree,

Through her eyes, through her every feature, Shines the soul of the young Haidê.

' .But the loveliest garden grows hateful . \Vhen Love has abandoned the bowers; Bring me hemlodc—since mine is ungrateful,

That herb is more fragrant than flowers. The poisoji, when poured from the chalice.

Will deeply embitter the bowl; . , But when drunk to escape from thy malice,

Th^ draught shall be sweet to my soul. Too cruell in vain I implore thee

My heartfrom these horrors to save Will nought to my bosom restore the^?

Thus tliou, with those eyes for thy.lances, Hast pierced through my heart to its core.

The world befits a busy btain,— I'll hie me to hs haunts again. But if, in some succeeding year,* ^ When Britain's " May is intbe sere; Thou hear-st of one, whose deepening crimes Suit with the sablest of the times, Of one. whom love nor pity sways, Nor hope of fame, nor good men i praise j One, who in stem Ambition's pnde, Perchance not blood shall turn aside j One tanked in some recording page , With the worst anarchs of the age, Him wilt thou incw-^nd kmmng pause, . Nor with the # r f forget the cause.

And didst thou not, smce Death fOr thee Prepared a light and pangless dart, ;

Once long for him thou ne'er shalt see, Who held, **d holds thee in his heart ?

Oh! who like him had watched thee here ? Or sadly marked thy glazing eye,

In thatodread hour em Death appear, ^Yhen alent Sorrow fears to agh, ,

The general impression of my recollection is delight ;b«t of the contents 1 remember only ibat Cain's wife was called Mahala, and Abel's Tbiwa;" Another and more immediate suj^tion of the name maybe traced to the following translation of Mclrager sEpit In ffelicdoram, which one of the "aôcwtc bards, Wand, or Mcrivale, or Hodgson, contributed to âtTrttMhttMseheJlyfntn tht Gnek Anthologyy 1806, p. 4. a work which Byron singles ont for commendation in £ttgHsk Sards, 4c.

Then stealing with the muffled oar. Far shaded by the rocky shore, Rush the night-prowlers on the prey. And turn to groans his rountlelay. Strange—that where Nature loved to trace, As if for Gods, a dwelling place, And every charm and grace hath'mixed Within the Paradise she fixed,

• There man, enamoured of distress, . da Should mar it into wilderness, •• . And trample, brute-like, o'er each ôwer That tasks not one laborious hour; Nor cbums the culture of his hand To bloom along the fairy land, But springs as to preclude his care, Arid sweetly woos him—but to spare! Strange—that where all is Peace beside. There Passion-riots in her pride, And Lust and Rapine wUdly reign To darken o'er the fair domain. It is as though the Fiends prevailed Against the Seraphs they assailed. And, fixed on heavenly thrones, should dweli The freed inheritors'of Hell J So soft (he scene, so formed for joy.

"'Tis twice three years at summer tide Since first among our freres he came;

And here it soothes him to abide 800 For some dark deed he will not name.

But never at our Vesper prayer. Nor e'er before Confession chair Kneels he, nor recks he when arise Incense or anthem to the skies, But broods within his cell alone, His faith and race alike unknown. The sea from Paynim land he crost, And here ascended from the coast; Yet seems he not of Othman race, gjo But only Christian in his face: I'd judge him some stray renegade, Repentant of the change he made, Save that he shims our holy shrine, Nor tastes the sacred bread and wine. Great largess to these walls he brought, And thus our Abbofs favour bought;
