A NEW POEM BY MR. A. C. LYALL. The following poem appears in the new Fortnightly Review for October.
A BAJPUT CHIEF OF THE OLD SCHOOL. Moribundus Loquitur.
I
And why say ye that I must leave
This pleasure-garden, where the s Is baffled by the boughs that weave Their shade o'er my pavilion ? The trees I planted with my hands, This house I built among the sande, Within a lofty wall which rounds
This green oasis, kopt with care; With room for my horses, hawks, and
4. hounde
And the cool arcade for my ladies fair.
II.
How often, while the landscape flames With beat, within the marble court
I lie and laugh to see my dames
About the shimmering fountain sport: Or after the long scorching days, When the hot-wind hushes, and falling stays The clouds of dust, and stars are bright, I've spread my earpets in the grovĒ, And talked and loitered the livelong night With some foreign leman light o'love.
III.
My wives-I married, as was fit,
Some thirteen of the purest blood- And two or three have germs of wit,
And almost all are chaste and good; But all their womanhood has been Hencooped behind a marble screen.
XIII,
Then carry me to my castle steep,
Whose time is ending with ita lord's : Eight months my grandsire held the keep.
Against the fierce Maratta hordes; It would not stand three winter subs Before the shattering English guns;
And so theso rude old faithful stones,
My father's haven in high war-tide, Must rive and moulder, as soon my bones
Shall bleach on the holy river side.
XIV.
Years hence, when all the earth is calm, And forts are level, and foes agree To leave their fighting, trade and farm,
And toil, like oxen, patiently, When this my garden palace stands A.desert ruin, eboked with sauds,
A broken well mid trees that fado,
Some traveller still my namo may bless, The chief lang syne that left him shade And a water spring in the wildcrques.
