Two sounds from one tongue, Two breaths from one lunge, Two faces in one hoode, Never wrought gaine ne goode. And these two knights rode three times round the lists, and none appeared to measure lance with them. Wherefore all that pitied the captive Princess, or hated the Blue Magician, shouted for joy and hope. But the Blue Magician called unto him the foul fiend who on earth is called Bourbedji (5), his familiar imp, and said to him, 'Bourbedji, thou seest that he of the purple armour, and he of the two stools, will carry the day and set free the lady, unless order be taken, and that right soon. Now, therefore, go forth and find me a champion.' And Bourbedji went forth, and he spoke with all the knights that were under the spells of the Blue Magician, with the Knight of the Spinning-jenny (6), and the Knight of the Orange Peel (7); but they would not hearken to him. Then he went to the knight who lives on the Wold (8), and bears in his scutcheon the seven lean ears of corn, with his mottoLet poor men starve, so there be feast (1) The Borough of Leicester in its Corporate Capacity; or rather the Corporation only.

To him came Bourbedji and said, 'Brave Sir, the Blue Magician is sore bestead; and if thou wilt do battle for him, thou shalt possess the Princess and her dowry.' And that unknightly knight put on his armour. It was blue, and his device was a cock azure, with a tail argent; and round it was written"E dare ne strutte, ne crowe, ne fighte, For why? Because my tail is white.' And when the Blue Knight came to the lists, he saluted not the ladies, nor gave largess to the heralds, nor caracoled round the open space, nor gave any sign of good cheer and stout heart, as beseems gentle blood; but he lay on his horse like a miller's sack, and he looked like a thief that hath reached the last round of the ladder and the last stave of the psalm. And he bade Bourbedji have a leech in readiness; and he held his spear as if he wist not how to couch it. But not so he of the purple armour; for he rode at the recreant knight right furiously, and smote KEY. (10) The Babingtons of Rothby Temple (Lord Macaulay's birth-place). MACAULAY 1432*** him down and trampled upon him. And the crowd shouted and clapped their hands, and said, 'Glory to the Purple Knight! Accursed be the Blue Magician and his slaves! And the ladies threw on the Purple Knight violets and lilies. But him of the blue they took, and stripped off his armour, and scour ged him, and rolled him in tar, and stuck over him white cock's feahis face to the tail, and bade him to thers, and set him on an ass with return whence he came, lest worse should befall him. Now of this craven our history saith no more. Then all the people took the Blue Magician, and broke his wand, and burned him at a great stake, for a wicked and fiendish sorcerer. And his ashes they sprinkled in the air. And the Princess was set free, and she espoused the Purple Knight; and all that were there rejoiced; chiefly the Knights Templars of the Holy Temple (10), and that good and gentle Knight of the Frith (11), which had before loved and served the Princess, and which did now with great content deliver her to the Purple Knight. CID HAMET BENENGELI. A. COCKSHAW, PRINTER, HIGH STREET. (11) J. Paris, Esq., late M.P. for the Borough of Leicester. To complete the page, the Publisher takes leave to annex an unpublished letter, which contains some new information respecting Addison's papers in the Spectator. Albany, December 24, 1855. Dear Sir, I beg you to accept my warm thanks for your present of Addison, which is a valuable addition to my library. All that I have seen of it leads me to believe that you have rendered a real service to literature. Yet I am sorry to find that you have omitted some papers which were undoubtedly Addison's, though he did not own them. I mean particularly the Spectator, No. 623, the richest and broadest specimen of his humour. It is a little indelicate; and that, no doubt, was his reason for not claiming it. He also abstained from claiming No. 608, though most undoubtedly his, and one of his best, because he could not have avowed it without avowing also No, 623. If any person can doubt that both the papers are Addison's, either that person or I must be an exceedingly bad critic. With repeated thanks for your kindness, I beg you to believe me, dear Sir, H. G. Bohn, Esq. Your faithful Servant, T. B. MACAULAY. |
