Excerpt from Schiller's Works, Vol. 2 Carlos. Lo! Who comes here? 'tis he! 0, ye kind heavens, My Roderigo! Posa. Carlos! Carlos. Can it be? And is it truly thou? 0 yes, it is! I press thee to my bosom, and I feel Thy throbbing heart beat wildly 'gainst mine own. And now all's well again. In this embrace My sick, sad heart is comforted. I hang Upon my Roderigo's neck! Posa. Thy heart! Thy sick, sad heart! And what is well again What needeth to be well? Thy words amaze me. Carlos. What brings thee back so sud denly from Brussels? Whom must I thank for this most glad sur prise? And dare I ask? Whom should I thank but thee, Thou gracious and all bounteous Providence? Forgive me, Heaven! If joy hath crazed my brain. Thou knew'st no angel watch'd at Carlos' side, And sent me this! And yet I ask who sent him? Posa. Pardon, dear Prince, if I can only meet With wonder these tumultuous ecstasies. Not thus I looked to find Don Philip's son. A hectic red burns on your pallid cheek, And your lips quiver with a feverish heat. What must I think, dear Prince? NO more I see The youth of lion heart, to whom I come The envoy of a brave and suffering people. For now I stand not here as Roderigo, Not as the playmate Of the stripling Carlos, But, as the deputy of all mankind, I clasp thee thus: - 'tis Flanders that clings here Around thy neck, appealing with my tears To thee for succor in her bitter need. This land is lost, this land so dear to thee, If Alva, bigotry's relentless tool, Advance on Brussels with his Spanish laws. This noble country's last faint hope depends On thee, lov'd scion Of Imperial Charles! And, should thy noble heart forget to beat In human nature's cause, Flanders is lost! Carlos. Then it is lost!

Excerpt from The Life and Works of Friedrich Schiller I have wished to give a trustworthy account of Schiller and his works on a scale large enough to permit the doing of something like justice to his great name, but not so large as in itself to kill all hope and chance of readableness. By a trustworthy account I mean one that is accurate in the matters of fact and sane in the matters of judgment. That there is room for an English book thus conceived will be readily granted, I imagine, by all those who know. At any rate Schiller is one of those writers of whom a new appreciation, from time to time, will always be in order.

Excerpt from Complete Works of Friedrich Schiller, Vol. 2 of 8: Historical Dramas; Mary Stuart, the Maid of Orleans, the Bride of Messina With common pewter, which the lowliest dame Would scorn, they furnish forth her homely table. Paul. Thus did she treat her spouse at Stirling once; And pledged, the while, her paramour in gold. Ken. Even the mirror's trifling aid withheld. Paul. The-contemplation of her own vain image Incites to hope, and prompts to daring deeds. Ken. Books are denied her to divert her mind. Paul. The Bible still is left to mend her heart. Ken. Even of her very lute she is deprived paul. Because she tuned it to her wanton airs. Ken. Is this a fate for her, the gentle born, Who in her very cradle was a queen? Who, reared in Catherine's luxurious court, Enjoyed the fulness Of each earthly pleasure? Was't not enough to rob her of her power, Must ye then envy her its paltry tinsel? A noble heart in time resigns itself To great calamities with fortitude But yet it cuts one to the soul to part At once with all life's little outward trappings! Paul. These are the things that turn the human heart To vanity, which should collect itself In penitence; for a lewd, vicious life, Want and abasement are the only penance. Ken. If youthful blood has led her into error, With her own heart and God she must account There is no judge in England over her. Paul. She Shall have judgment where she hath trans gressed. Ken. Her narrow bonds restrain her from transgression paul. And yet She found the means to stretch her arm Into the world, from out these narrow bonds.

Excerpt from Works J. C. F. Von Schiller, Vol. 2: Translated From the German I All about to relate an adventure which to many will appear incredible, but of which I was in great part an eye-witness. The few who are acquainted with a certain political event will, if indeed these pages should happen to find them alive, receive a welcome solution thereof. And, even to the rest of my readers, it will be, perhaps, important as a contribution to the history of the decep tion and aberrations of the human intellect. The bold ness of the schemes which malice is able to contemplate and to carry out must excite astonishment, as must also the means of which it can avail itself to accomplish its aims. Clear, unvarnished truth shall guide my pen for, when these pages come before the public, I shall be no more, and shall therefore never learn their fate. On my return to Courland in the year 14 about the time of the Carnival, I visited the Prince of at Venice. We had been acquainted in the service, and we here renewed an intimacy which, by the restora tion of peace, had been interrupted. As I wished to see the curiosities of this city, and as the prince was waiting only for the arrival d remittances to return to his native country, he easily prevailed on me to tarry till his de parture. We agreed not to separate during the time of our residence at Venice, and the prince was kind enough to accommodate me at his lodgings at the Moor Hotel.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
