A DUTCH PICTURE. Simon Danz has come home again,
From ernising about with his buccaneers; He has singed the beard of the King of Spain, And carried away the Dean of Jaen
And sold him in Algiers.
In his houseby the Maese, with its roof of tiles, And weather-cooks flying aloft in the sir, There are silver tankards of antique styles, Flunder of convent and castle, and piles
Of carpets rich and rare.
In his tulip garden there by the town.
-Overlooking the sluggish stream, With his Moorish cap and dressing gown The old sea captain, hale and brown,
Walks in a walking dream.
A smile in his gray mustacho lurks
Whenever he thinks of the King of Spain, And the listed tulips look like Turks, And the silent gardener as he works Is changed into the Dean of Jaen.
The windmills on the outermost
Verge of the landscape in the haze, To him are towers on the Spanish coset. With whiskered sentinels at their post,
Though this is the river Maese. But when the winter rains begin,
He sits and smokes by the blazing brands,
And old sea-faring men come in, Goat-bearded, gray, with double chin,
And rings upon their hands.
They sit there in the shadow and abins
Of the flittering fire of the winter night, Figures in color and design
Like those by Rembrandt on the Rhine,
Half darkness and half light.
And they talk of their ventures lost or won, And their talk is ever and ever the same, While they drink the red wine of Tarragon,
From the eellers of the same Spanish Don,
Or convent set on flame.
Restless at times, with heavy strides
He paces his parlor to and fro; He is like a ship that at anchor rides, And swinge with the rising and falling tides,
And tags at her anchor-tow.
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea, Are calling and whispering in his ear,
Simon Danz why stayest thou bere? Come forth and follow me!"
So he thinks he shall take to the sea again For one more cruise with the baccaneer; To kinge the beard of the King of Spain, And capture another Deau of Jaet
And sell him in Algiers. -Henry W. Longfellow.

When one of the men, who could not get on the roof in ume, was being hoisted up by a comrade, two police constablos rushed up and held on to his legs.
