6 • evening we have no record: the next day, however, while the poet was busily employed at his studies, the door of his apartment, up two pair of stairs,' suddenly opened, and the Lord Treasurer, Lord Danby, made his appearance. Marvell was much surprised at the unexpected visit, and expressed his opinion that the Lord Treasurer must have mistaken his way. No,' said the other, 'not now that I have found Mr. Marvell.' He then endeavoured, by offering him a lucrative place under the government, and by every argument and persuasion, to entice the patriot over to the court; but Marvell, proud in his poverty and integrity, turned a deaf ear to his solicitations. My Lord,' he said I cannot in honour accept your offer; if I did I must either be ungrateful to the King by subsequently voting against him, or else false to my country in succumbing to the measures of the court. The sole favour which I have to ask of his Majesty is, that he will believe me as dutiful a subject as any which he has, and that I am acting far more advantageously for his true interests by rejecting his offers than I should do by accepting them.' Finding him inflexible, Lord Danby delicately alluded to his necessities, and pressed him to receive a thousand pounds as a free gift from his sovereign, and as a personal compliment to his talents. This was under the rule of the Stuarts, when our monarchs were in the habit of appreciating and associating with genius. James the First had patronized every man of learning; Charles the First was the friend of all the poets; and Charles the Second, among many other acts of generosity which proved his appreciation of genius, is known to have presented Dryden with a sum of money, and to have sent Wycherley five hundred pounds to enable him to recover his health in the south of France." After such a proof that Charles could upon occasion both think and act nobly, we will pass over the murders committed by him under the name of law, upon the gallant and patriotic spirits, who indeed brought his father to the block, but who had done to the king only as he himself would have done to them had his cause triumphed. But besides there are graver and yet more important considerations that may bend us to a right judgment. The king of England is the head of the English Church, and what says religion both in letter and in spirit? that we judge not lest we should be judged-that we let not the sun go down upon our wrath-that we forgive our brother though he offend us ninety and nine times. "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord"-But Charles dug up the bones of Cromwell, and wreaked his vengeance upon the dead. We have already noticed the want of order and connection in these volumes. They do not present a well digested and continued narrative, but a fragmentary set of sketches, utterly independent of all date and relation to each other. The name of a street or house suggests an anecdote of some distinguished character, and thus the same individual may be mentioned over and over again, and often in juxtaposition with persons, who lived long before he was born, or long after he was buried. With all these defects however, and some others perhaps on the score of accuracy, the work is well calculated to satisfy the present appetite for lighter publications that amuse without fatiguing, and which do not call for any particular exercise of the reflective faculties on the part of the reader.
