THE GOLDEN LEGEM).
We tfiko from Ihe Missouri Republican tlio
following translation of "The Goldon Le
gend of Poor Henry," made for that paper
Ly A. E. Krtrgcr. The poem, Avhicli will be
interesting, independently of its own merit,
ng the basis of Mr. Longfellow's "Golden Le
gend,"' was written by Hartniann von dor
Aue, a Suabian poet, about the year 1820. It
in highly esteemed in Germany, bnt has
never before been rendered into English.
This is a translation of the first part of the
poem, and it will give an excellent idea of its
stylo:
A learned Knight thero lived of old,
'Who all that iu the books is told,
To read quite readily could claim.
Kir Hartmann for this was his name
At Aue in feudal service lived,
Great was the pleasure ho received
.From various books and reading.
Then ho began heeding
Whether ho might not levy
On soiiio tale, wherewith heavy.
And dark hours sweet t-j render.
And of Ri:eh a gender
As to God's honor to redound,
Whilst idso making men around
I'lciifiod with his endeavor.
He now begins to favor
You with tLe tide which he found writ.
And he h;is signed his name to it,
Thnt IV r all the labor spent,
And to this golden legend lent,
lie might unpaid remain;
And that, after his death, who then
Might, hour it read, or read it e'er,
Perhaps to trod would raise his prayer
For tho sidvation of his soul,
For ho his own eause doth enroll,
And gains himself salvation's way,
Who for another's sins doth pray.
He read the following story,
J low once in wealth and glory,
There lived a Knight in Snabia laud,
In whom those virtues to expand,
Had not forgotten been forsooth,
Which evry noble ktiighl and youth
Should possess in Ids own praise,
Of none spoke men so well always.
O'er all tho region of thoe lands,
He had ready in his hands
Miekle wealth and noble blood.
His virtue, too, e'er ready stood.
Yet splendid as his riches were,
His birth unchangeable and rare,
Equal to princes in degree;
Yet so rich never was he
In birth, or wealth, or station,
And in virtuous inclination.
His namo was known and spread by fame,
Sir Henry he was called by name.
This Knight ho was of Aue born,
And his heart had quite forsworn
Falsity and wicked mood;
This oath he kept through bad and good,
Till his end e'er steady.
To do good always ready
Stood his life and honor even.
A ready knack to him was given,
For worldly honors and noblesse.
These he knew well how to increase,
,Wjth all kinds of virtues fair.
3Ie was of youth a flower rare,
Of worldly joy a mirror-light,
Of steady faith a diamond bright,
A crown of courteous bearing.
To tho needy help-appearing;
To hit friends a shield forever.
A scale of mildness, never
Over or underweighing,
"Labor," ran his saying,
"Is honoring burden to the wise."
He was a bridge of sound advice,
Moreover, he sang well of love;
And thus enabled was to move
By bkill tho world's applause and praise,
Jle was comely and wise always.
Whilst thus Sir nenry was employed,
And life every day enjoyed
His honor, fame, and his wealth
.1 n v f n 1 1 T7 nnrl fnll nf VinnltTi
And with worldly pleasure;
Above all kin in treasure
And in honor and praise eke:
His proud life was turned to meek.
And humblest lifo man ever led
In him was then exhibited,
As once in Absalon 'twas shown,
That the too resplendent crown
Of worldly honor galloth
And under our feet fulleth
From its highest worthiness.
As tho Holy Bible says
Truthfully: In morte sunt us
'Ahdiu vita, which reads thus:
That in death we deeply dive
When most sure we think to live.
Yea, what this world firmest holds,
Steadiest and best enfolds,
With greatest power encompasses
Stands tottering and has no base.
This well tho candle illustrates
And in a subtle image states,
Since it has turned to ashes even
The while it birth to light has given.
We are creatures weak and frail ;
Look how our laughter turns to wail
And mixes e'er with weeping,
Our sweetness life is steeping
E'er in the most bitter gall;
Our bloom must ever fall
When it wears its brightest green.
Thus in poor Henry's case was seen
That who in highest happiness
Upon earth his life doth pass
Appears but humble unto God.
Hence God struck hiui with His rod,
And threw him from his worthy place,
He cast hiiA into great di-igraee;
Leprosy took hold of him.
Now when thus in every limb
The heavy scourge of f Jod was plain
To man and woman, he grew then
Disgusting and unbeurulilo.
Now heed: howe'er agreeable
He to the world did ouce appoar
So little of it now stayed near
That uo one liked on him to look,
Like .lob, his friends him now forsook
Job, who had also lived in cheer,
Hut who, when rnis ry drew near,
From his high throno f riches on
A wretched couch of dung was thrown.
Thus our poor Sir Henry, lo!
For the first timo learned to know,
That lie unto the world appeared
E'en liko all other lepers, feared
And spurned: yet this widu gap rose
Between his suff'ring and Job's woes,
That Job, though sun'ering madly
Bore quite patiently, sadiy,
Tho sore aflliction on him thrown,
By his soul's fortitude alone,
His most loathsome sickness
And the world's great weakness.
Hence praised Job God, -though sore dis
tressed.
nt our fairkmgut was not so i-iesseu;
V&d never so o'treame his grame,
rut her joyless and sad became;
1 iring heart drooped wounded now;
jwiuiming joy sank drowned now.
poud, high .irs they vanished nil
1. oey turned to bitter gall.
. ji.), gloomy thunderstroke
His bright and cheerful noonday broke.
A threatening cloud in quick ndvuuce
O'ershndowed all his sunny glume.
In thoe urcI Lours he 'j an to grieve
That all miguthercd ho ir.nft leave
So many honors gleaming,
Often ho cursed, thus dreaming,
The luckiest! hour and lny forlorn
When he into the world vi.s born.
Yet somewhat he again rejoiced,
And by one comfort was enticed,
When some friends to him betrayed
That tho iiickuess on him h id
Would in quite diil'erent forms r.dvance,
And even might lie cured perchance.
Hence he began to think and dream.
And of hope to catch n gleam;
Believing he might cured bo
And be well quite easily. '
Thus he. went and took the road,
As the doctors him had showed,
Towards MonpasiHere;
But there ho found little el.rer
Or comfort for his ill to dwell
They told him he would ne'er be well.
He heard this with little joy,
Then ho Salerno thought to try;
There, through her learned dotors' lore.
Bo cured of tho diseaso ho bore.
Ho found her wisest masters there,
Who to him at ouco this rare
And strangest story did relate:
That he would be cured, and yet
That cured ho could bo nevermore.
"How can this be ho cried, heart-sorc:
'What you say cannot be! for sure,
Either there is or not n cure.
Since what yon may impose on me,
Of wealth or labor suredly,
I shall perform most truly."
"Now leave these hopes unruly,"
To him the master then rejoined,
"Your sickness is of such n kind
But why should I let yoa know 't
Thero is a medicine, I trow,
Which would quickly cure you;
But no one, I assure yon,
lias wealth enough, or courage e'en
To obtnin this medicine.
Hence you'll keep your disease, unless
God be your doctor iu your distress."
Then ppokc Sir Henry, the poor knight,
"Why rob me of all comforts, light 'i
Sure I've enough of riches' store
Fnlcs your mastership and lore
And oflico you would breaker,
And moreover, forsaken
Both my silver and my gold
To get upon you such a hold
That yon will gladly make me well."
"That I've the will 'l ncd not tell,"
Said the master in retort,
"And if the drug were but a sort
Such as to be foi ml readily,
Or purchasable in dcgr o
By anything men cherish,
I'd nevtr let you perish.
Bat this is not the case, a' as!
And hence my help by yov. must pass.
Sore as with m) y.'Vfrv laden.
You must tiiid a maidec
Pure and of afvirgin mine?,
And yet all wiliiiig. and 'twined
For yon death to suffer.
N.w, thus life to ott'er
Ik not the custom amongst uien,
Elto nothing more wove need d then.
Such a virgin maiden's blood
Would make your body clean and good."
Then recognized poor Henry how
'Twonld be impossible r ow
To find one, ready to of; er
For him death to suffer.
Hence was thut comfort taker, from him,
Which had brought him; hopo grew dim,
And ever since that time he thought
Of his cure no more, and sought
To give't no more attention.
And now his grief's expansion
(rrew so strong and so great.
That ho began to curso Lis fate,
And wished Lis life were ended.
Home went he, ami expended
The wealth wherewith he had been blessed,
As to him appeared best.
Quietly ho then 'gan each
Of his poor friends to make rich
And tho stranger x'oor t' endow.
MoreoYr that God might mercy show
I Into his soul, ef hope bereft,
He gave to churches what was left.
Thus did he of all his pelf
Quietly divest himself,
And kept a quiet farm rdon,
There from men retired to moan.
Yet his pitiful misery
Not alone mourned he;
Twas mourned by men in the whole land
AVheroin ho was acquainted, and
E'en in those countries where, unknown,
They d heard of him through fame alone.
THE dPEKA IX ENGLAND.
A writer in the St. Jame Magazine, in dis
cussing the past, present, and future of
opera in England, gives the following rapid
summary of the works that now hold the
stage in that country:
The Operatic Stage of the present day is
occupied almost exclusively by the works of
some half-doen composers. Beethoven's
"Fidolio" is performed once or twice in a
season, or not so often. Webor's
"Oberou," and "Der Freischntz," are
heard now and then, his ''Etry
anthe" never. Gounod, has written
some six of eight operas, and of t'aem
"Faust" has achieved popularity. Schubart's
music is never performed at all. Spohr has
written the following works amongst oth rs;
"Azor and Zomire," "Owl Queen," 'The
Crusaders," "The Alchemist," "Jessonla,"
"l'ietro von Abano," and "Faust." Noue'o
them. Lavo been given in London this many a
year. Aubcr has composed operas without
number; the following are amongst Lis best:
"Masuniello," "i-'ra Diuvolo," the ''Crown
Diamonds," "Gustavns III," "Lestocq,'" nnd
"lit premier jour dn bonheur." Out of thesn
half-dozen, "Mnsaiuello" has been repeat edly,
"Fra Diavolo" sometimes, performed. Tne
' 'Crown Diamonds" has occasionally boon
given in ft mutilated shape by uu English
company. The rest urn htvmigers to us.
liossini, who wrote- "Lf Baridcre. de Se
viglia." "William Tell," "E.i Gaza
Ladra," "Semiramide." "La Donna
del Lugo," "Taneredi." "Le Siege tU
Corinth," "Kicciurdo e Xoraide," "L'ltaliani
in Algeria," and "Tnrjo in Italia," besides
others which it would b i tedioas to name, is
represented by the "Burl Mere alone. "Gml
lanme Tell" in an incomplete form is given
occasionally iemiramide, iiu.l Liv t tZii
Ladra' .iire heard at intervals. Moz.irt. on tho
whole, is luckier; out of sis works, "Don
Juan," "11 tlai.to maj.;ico,'' ' Le Mariage de
iigaro, "Jl Seraglio, "La Clemen.,i tli
Tito," and "Cosi fan tutti," three are tolor-
ably w ell known in this country. Cherubim's
line opera ".Medea,1" reckoned by Beothoven
tho grandest dramatic composition iu the
world, seems a drug m tne market. V erdi
out of compositions innumerable, is known
by Inn iiovutore and "Iravuta. "In
bullo en Tiaschera" is 1 v.u on periodically when
a more popular worn lias to Le withdraw!
I "Dt-u Ci.tt' hit v .: i," ( .,'( 1 lovc-i.d all
doubt, failed to please. "Kigoletto" has not
been tolerably pcrtormcd in London for
many yearn, bcllini wrote "Norma," "La
Sonnnmhuiiu" "I Puritani," "Komoo e
(iiulclta," ttherwise known as
"Montccebi c Ciqmletti," and "II
Pirate. ' Tho first three works are given
repeatedly, the other two not. at all. Doni
zetti wrote at least fifty operas, and is repre
sented by "Lucia," "Lucre.ia, " "Don Fas
quale," "L'elisir d'amore," "La Fuvorita,"
and ''Linda di Chamonni." Meyerbeer's
'Huguenots'' is popular, his "Le l'rophcte"
is moderately so, his "IvAfricane" seems
pretty well forgotten, bis "Stella del Nord" is
reproduced at long intervals, his "Dinorah"
hns been revived with success lately, his
"Eohert le Diablo" is given now and then; as
for tho rest of his operas, his "Margherita
d'Anjon," and so forth, so far as the English
fiublio is concerned, they might never have
iec.n written. G luck's "Iphigenia in TauriB"
was given a yeor or two ago: his other
compositions are forbidden fruit. Herold
and Boieldien have dropped out of remom
brance. Bnlfe, a prolific writer, is known by
his "Bohemian Girl" and "Bose of Castillo,"
which are played in the provinces. Wallace,
amongst other works, has produced "Bur
line," tbo "Amber Witch," and "Maritana;"
tho first and tho last of these are the ones
by which he is familiar so tho public. Mac
fnrrcn has written "Bobin Hood," "Don
Quixote," "Charles II," "Ilelvellyn," and
"She Stoops to Conquer." With how many
of these, we may ask, is the average reader
acquainted at all'r Wagner has embodied
his peculiar thcoriesin "Tannhauser," "Lohen
grin," tho "Flying Dutchman," "Tristan and
Isolde," tho "Meistersinger of Nuromburg,"
"Bhcingold," and in a minor degree in
"F.ie nzi." No London manager has yet seen
fit to allow any of these compositions a hear
ing, l lotow's "Martha" is liked, his "Stra
della" not at all. Ambroise Thomas has met
with a kind of success in "Hamlet;" he will
meet with another success of tho same sort
in "Mignon." Beyond the writers we have
named there arc a host of others whose names
arc not even known on this side of the chan
nel. Many of them, however, have produced
works whose success has been unequivocal
and lasting.
