The Laureateship.
'The late Mr. Austin might well be the last of his famous, but.... somewhat uneven, line, The Poet Laureate was after all only the fi al surviver many other fand- tionaries of the Royal Household who have passed away; the Court poet was a member of a hierarchy that iaoluded the Court jester. The retention of the post was de- fended as giving a certain royal and official recognition to literary distinction. But literature is re cogalaud in other and less awk- ward
ways; for after all it ia rother awkward! to label a man as Chief Bard in Ordinary to the English.. speaking people, especially as a very large number of these people. will hold perhapa with justice
that the label has been wrongly affixed. Poetry, of all things in the world, is the hardest to grade and classify, and the delicate duty of awarding the prize is one from which both statesmen and courtiers may legitimately shrink. Nor is the official ode or panegyr": io-apt to be an unsatisfactory effort even in the hands of a mas terány longer deemed requisite to celebrate the virtues of a sover- Bigu or the glories of his generals and ministera. Prize sheep, said. Macaulay, are only fit to make tallow candles, sad prize poems only fit to light them. Much the, same may be said of what Cow- per called the annual quit-rent verses which a conscientious Laureate pays for his yearly batt of Malmsey or its equivalent in cash, Poetry made to order is usually poor staff, and it might be as well to remove any tempta- tion to encourage its production.
