Not illustrated. 1867 edition. Excerpt: ... lingered in the rear: Thought followed thought--and ere the last Of that unhappy train was past, Before him Francis did appear. " Now when 'tis not your aim to oppose," Said he, " in open field your foes; Now that from this decisive day Your multitude must melt away, An unarmed man may come unblamed; To ask a grace, that was not claimed Long as your hopes were high, he now May hither bring a fearless brow; When his discountenance can do No injury, --may come to you. Though in your cause no part I bear, Your indignation I can share; Am grieved this backward march to see, How careless and disorderly! I scorn your Chieftains, men who lead, And yet want courage at their need; Then look at them with open eyes! Deserve they further sacrifice? My Father! I would help to find A place of shelter, till the rage Of cruel men do like the wind Exhaust itself and sink to rest; Be brother now to brother joined! Admit me in the equipage Of your misfortunes, that at least, Whatever fate remains behind, I may bear witness in my breast To your nobility of mind! " " Thou enemy, my bane and blight! Oh! bold to fight the coward's fight Against all good "--but why declare, At length, the issue of this prayer? Or how, from his depression raised, The father on his son had gazed; Suffice it that the son gave way, Nor strove that passion to allay, Nor did he turn aside to prove His brothers' wisdom or their love--But calmly from the spot withdrew; The like endeavours to renew, Should e'er a kindlier time ensue. r-rv.

William Wordsworth's two most extensive translation projects were his modernization of selected poems by Chaucer and his unfinished translation of Virgil's "Aeneid". Bruce E. Graver offers the texts, a complete account of their genesis and publication, a discussion of Wordsworth's practice as a translator. Graver's reading of the "Aeneid" corrects hundreds of substantive errors in the published texts of the translation. Unlike other volumes in the Cornell Wordsworth series, this one focuses on a particular kind of poetical work, translation. Like others, it includes reading texts with full critical apparatuses, photographic reproductions and transcriptions of manuscripts, as well as Graver's own introduction and notes which amount to a critical monograph on Wordsworth and translation. Graver suggests that both translation projects were self-conscious attempts on Wordsworth's part to compete with John Dryden, the pre-eminent English translator. He supplies evidence for a major reassessment of Wordsworth's attitudes toward Dryden and, indirectly, of the relationship of Wordsworth's poetry to British neoclassicism.Graver believes Wordsworth's scholarly abilities were much greater than commonly supposed, and that his translations will interest classicists, mediaevalists and 18th-century scholars, as well as romanticists.
