Seated in the baroneal hall of the demesne given him by his master, Alfred,.Duke rick vas surrounded by his vassals, and in receiving their oaths of allegiance, he fan cied himself even equal to the sovereign of England. Many a Danish Mother had to mourn the effects of his prowess—many a Danish maiden had. strained her eves over the whitened shore expecting the return of her lover whom the swords of Edrick's fol lowers had laid low in the dust. Deeds of honor had gained Edrick the love of his king; and the wapentakes of Sussex were given him to roiga over; et somo reoomp,coct for Ihe many leag,nes ofland he had caused the Danes to relinquish. His.bosont was raised high in exultation, on finding himself Lord of so good a territory lost by his father's dis loyalty to Atheist" but redeemed by him self on a return to his allegiance. The hall ofaudienee was extensive to the ~,craze: it was built in all the majesty of feu dal time—it rose in ample grandeur—sim ple and unadorned, save by the waving tro- ; phy, the hauberk, or the cuirass, intermit).- riled with the crossbow or the glittering spear. Looks a festiVe joy beamed in eve ry visage, the wassail bowl passed off, and returned, till Duke Edrick called 'on the minstrel. All then was hushed, as the re ining wave from the distant shore, while the hoary bard sung of deeds of valor and of wisdom, achieved by England's Solon. In the midst of a crowd of warriors, shone, like a brilliant star, Duke &hick's daughter, on Whom her father Boated, and considered as the step ladder to his ambition, and in pros pect as a share of his monarch's bed. Im t Ines form wasthe- most. - beautiful. that • can eyes were of a celestial blue, lighting a face full i;l' the most tender, bewitching, and ex pressive languishment—her cheeks were fresh tinted by rose blossoms; -but- her-lips and teeth were such as a painter migbt,at tempt to iinitate; bdt could never reilii e. Her hair, of clear flaxen, unadorned and un restrained, strayed'er her fine tend falling shoulders; she - bent fbrward to the bard's notes, as if in admiration of his theme, but the harper's strains were far from occupying her thoughts. Unhappy girl! 'she was dwelling on those _which told-- her misery' must ever be her portion, and how much more she thought her fine was to be lament ed than that of any other damsel. The lay Tiiii~ 1 regained . his Seat, the ca rousa aliathurienced, and Duke Erick roused his daughter from a vacuity by a loud and deep reproach. He - demanded, why she alone joined not in the general joy, on beholding him in the hall" of his ancestors? hum essayed to speak, but her words were inarticulate; she burst into tears, happily unperceived by her father. Again the bard was inspired—he struck a prelude that en chanted all; they seized their arms, in -* , rap ture, as for the combat, but each tongue was silent, and all was hushedsave the repressed clank of armor, as the Knights regained their seats. The hoary musician's cheek was flushed with a hectic flush; a holy in- Tit-41km ,gaveli -fire to his eye; and while lus - fingers struck the chotdtOf his ham', be sung the praisi of Imma. • "Fair 'as chaste; as chaste as fair.'• At such a bongratulation, she rose in vir gin diffidence and thanked him, though in a vqice choa ked with sober-and, evercome by the praises of her *tiler, she cast her eyes fearlessly around the hall, find sunk sense: loss into his , arms.. , While the stern Fdrick was chiding, filer, not the timid Imnia was ascribing the acuteness of. her reelirtv to Sour, ominous cause, (which, in diiis&dattp of superstiticn, haunta, oecaitionOly, thb ak,tu t.pittiliratt Ilstattner. strongest mind,) a h confusion of sounds a rose from that part of the hall froltywhich Imma had withdrawn her sight, it broke aka as though the•foeman had them in his toils. As the smoke of battle rolls on in destruc tion—as the dust of the war horse approach es nearer and - nearer Atill—so came the sounds of discontent to Duke P.drick's seat. "I heed-thee not," exclaimed Lord Hilde brande, in a voice above the din; "rtell thee to thy teeth, and I'll tell it to all who'll hear, Duke Edrick is decciyedond Imma is no longer chaste as a wanton!" At such a charge, again were murmurs loud and deep; they punted through the hall of audience. A hundred helmets shook; a hundred swords left their scabbards, but Lord Hildebrande again exclaimed aloud, "By the Holy Ghost she's false; lima has disgraced her sex;" "Proud Hildebrande, thou hest," exclaimed Childe Edmund: the storm oipassion shook his heaving frame— kb snatched off his greave, it whirled in the air, and struck the accuser of Imma, who took the pledge, and demanding the ordeal, s‘vore to Trove the charge: tarighted Imam now raised herself in conscious inno cence; she indignantly threw back those tresses which would have hid her thee; she would have defended, with an undaunted'eye„ miLoliaracter,but4lie4netalathees-ref*alt palenesa_o.veriu.oad bar, and she bent like a lily in a storm -into-the arms of Chiklc Edmund. When Lady Innna awoke from her trance every thing bor.?a dreadful silence; in vain she attempted to raise herselffi•om her couch, .her limb appeared paralyzed; she put her liand to her head, her brain was maddenii►g; it is t►i►o,:a refreshing breeze burst in upon her from the - operr - casement - , - yeritlatUd but a won►eat; a hotter glow succeeded, and threatened to check all respiration; she ga zed wildly around her; she paused to think, but yet seemed fearful of re-calling remem brance; she put her finger on the blood bursting lids of her eyes; distended with fe. ver; she poured over ) unconsciously, the storied painting, which the last rays of the setting sun emblazoned and reflected from the hay window: and a conviction of what was to happen dawning in her mind, she endeavored to shut out its reality; she shrunk into herself; a frightful slumber steeped her faculties in miseiy,and-thrtered her diseased imagination. Such a charge as Lord Hildebrande's was not to bo made with impunity, When the first storms of indignation were over, he was allowed'to speak, as follows:—"Returning last, on the eve of St. Francis, from a bor der poSt, I entered a dingle in the forest; there I saw the Lady Imma rusk into the arms of a man, who.wore the scarf that now Childe Edmund wears. lam not mad—l am Lord Edrick's friend: I pledge myself for the truth of what I now utter, and let her disloyal Knight delimd her if he can. In saving this, each warrior slunk away, to see the decision by mutual consent. Fearful that violent emotions might rack the bOsom of the gentle Imma, Etnund left the hail to seek her; love is seldom accom panied by prudence or he had never sought a secret interview. Now.the Baron Edrick trembled with passion, and he swore, if guil ty, to sacrifice both to his revenge. Front the maidens of her house, Childe Edmund learned Imma was in her chamber. As he was the cause artlielndignity her, to another by entering the castle;_ he, therefore, saw her not, and becoming a prey to the acutest anguish, he , wandered about the dw®fling, uneotiscious , where-he-bent-his steps. .Childe Edmund; IA lie was called, had-longloved the gentle Imma and, ere she was aware, she returned his loVe; they fear ed it was impossible they could ever be\u-ni ted, but• there'•was such a luxury in even their cheered hopes, that they rather chose to encourage a mutual attachment, accom panied with future misery, and to use that tbrtitude which teaches us to endure misfor tune patiently. Childe Edmund was merely the portegec of Duke Edrick, and without. Li single quartering of nobility in his shield, had ever been viewed with corempt by Lord Hildebrande, as a protected vassal: this vassal had, however, been preferred to him, by the Lady Imma, and he swore to be his ruin, by bell, book; and candlei -- Love, in those days, had no-employment save to chide the time with sighs and excla mations,; for the : life of a murderer was sa cred, on being proved able - to read and write; their attainments werenot presumed to be those of' females: and a lady was deem ed a prodigy - who was enabled, ,by her pen, to carry on a correspondence. No pert chamber maid was then the conveyor of a billet-dour.• Thus Imma an Chil - - Ed- , wad were obliged to vent their iplaintal to the air, to themselves,'or to inanimate things ' without consolation, and Without pi ty. , "My father," said the. unfortunate' lin ma, "believes me guilty, but I mno t and Edmund knowa I am innocent: and oh! my dear mother, look down from heaven,, pity your poor chilcl,and shield. her • *fiat Jespair." The following morning, lona m ew s.. freshed from her couch Itte,.walked: as one whose soul was . fled, .bot:Whotia body was doained to rulderwin unooriseio t iness: it AVII* • yet hitt ,twilight, and the and the. *Lope Ireiabled in the cold, au; soon: the • sods paraded. in a -quip,k .64..4heir posts; and, at length, all was bustle and ani 'nation. She had walked on the battlements and seating herself like the genius of sus pensel her tresses spi•eading.in the wanton the-started at the sound of the bugle= the chain of the draw-bridge rattled—the, _portcullis rises, and a host, of .armed men pour front the keep,-and form a procession. Childe Edmund is preceded by a page, who -beam his fhvor of azure blue; the lover ginek - TS towards the castle—he seems to breathe a sigh towards lies ; a train accompanies him and Lord Hildebrande, who, seated on a white charger, sceins conscious -61 victory; they arc followed by herald at armst - 43 „ This appearance olliniglitly combat dar kens her vision—" lie is going," she Cries, "to sacrifide himself!—and for me;" she ut tered a scream, and fell, unheeded; on the terrace. 11l fitted maid! thy stdArings are, indeed, acute: If this be the puniShment of presumed guilt, what ought that to be of conscious depravity? They hhd met, it is true, clandestinely, but angels might have been present at the interview; they met but to breathe sighs of constancy, and to indulge in mutual sorrows, dearer tb them than all the jocund hours of mirth. On returning to a sense of feeling, she crawled to her cham ber, revived by the blood which flowed from ihe_wound _she had_met_ :with _in_ &UM cr; .the cut_she received_ in her templeLmnalleal d 'by a domestic, but the wounded heart re jected all mortal medicine; and her attend ants, apprehensive of her fading reason, were fain to let her Eitirstte her inclination. To paint the agonies of suspense, during a rencounter in which was engaged all she let, ed, is impossible—it was indeed intense. length the sound of music proclaimed all mr as over—that the dreadful truth o iust-soo be known. They play a mournful theme, and she rushes forward to behold the cause. The procession is only to be seen ever and anon in the, distance, now lost among the hills, and now again emerging nearer sight. On a carriage _she- at length perceives the stiffened corpse of someone. Oh ! the vir gin, the blue scarf is wrapt round his body. An hysterick laugh burst from her, as she lams to meet it; it is not her lover's form she would clasp, but with wounds staunched by the trophy of love, Lord Hildebraade's, a victim to his own evil passions, who, dying, confessed the guilty Even this would not have procured the con• sent of Lord Edrick, to give his daughter to Childe Edmund, had he not received letters from his King, inviting him to his marriage banquet, and declaring Edmund his relative. Childe Edmund then, by royal command, wedded the lovely Itnma: the bard's song was once more heard in the hall, and the foeman spoiled not their delight. - ..
