The air was raw, and the sky was murky; The feet slip-slopped on the slushy ground; Yet I sallied forth, and I bought a turkey, And sausages strung in a necklace round; Of lemons a brace, and of sage a plateful; A bottle of port that was old and fine; For what's expense to a nephew grateful Who's proudly expecting his aunt to dine? It's freely acknowledged that ostentation Can never be reckoned a fault of mine, But I know what's due to a dear relation Who's coming on Christmas Day to dine. The day came round, and the hour of dining; But frolicsome fiends were abroad that night; Filling the air with their shrieks and whining, Whirling the snowflakes in gusts of white. Within, rare odours the sense were freighting, Not all of earth and not all divine; I called to Nancy, "It's useless waiting--Serve up the turkey and let me dine." That bird, though high in my estimation, But seldom graces a board of mine; To let it burn were a profanation, Though Queen and Court had been asked to dine. I helped myself to some slices tender, Sausages crisp and not too fat; Never did monarch, the Faith's Defender, Banquet on royaller fare than that. A wing came next, with a leg to follow, Washed down with blood of the purple vine; And I left in fine but a framework hollow, That scarce sufficed for a mouse to dine. I viewed with satisfied contemplation The sculpture carvedjby that knife of mine; And I felt that life has its compensation, And, come what will, it is sweet to dine. I said my grace--and, for once, devoutly--I filled my glass, and I blew my cloud; But hark! the knocker goes banging stoutly, A step comes up with a creaking loud! I peered thro' the smoke--for the room was quite full And saw benevolent gig-l...

(The English of such of these Ballads as vary from that ov...)
The English of such of these Ballads as vary from that over which Her Gracious Majesty is supposed to preside can hardly claim to rank as a dialect. It presents few salient features probably something very like it can be heard in most of the great towns of the Midlands and I have not attempted to reproduce it with severe fidelity. Those who are familiar with the speech of a district stand in need of few hints upon its pronunciation. To the uninitiated I doubt if the most laborious phoneticism can convey the speechs true significance, while I am quite certain that the average stranger, confused and terrified by mysterious symbols, is very apt to shut the book and flee. Moreover, this kind of speech is hardly capable of systematic representation. I ts ,for example, is absolutely fluctuating and errant. As a rule, people use it as they do pepper, sprinkling it more or less plentifully according to individual taste, and with no sense of responsibility. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Excerpt from The Scales of Heaven: Poems Narrative, Legendary and Meditative, With a Few Sonnets These are the things which I should like the readers of my poor verses to find and to retain: - a tolerance stumbling at nothing, and recognizing the noble side of intolerance: a sympathy as wide and as deep as human nature: a patient hope in that supreme revelation to our time, the length of God's days and ways: a living, growing faith, and, therefore, a faith undergoing a constant process of waste and of renewal, not a mummy assent, swathed and eviscerate, and doomed to drop to dust at the first touch of outer air - a faith which realizes behind the clouds and thick darkness a divine Face, and which feels at the burning heart of all inevitable, subduing, regenerating Love.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
