SELECTIONS FROM Schiller's Ballads and Lyrics EDITED U'lTVjfOTEh AND VOCABULARY BY LEWIS ADDISON RHOADES, PH.D. PROFESSOR OK GERMAN IN OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY WITH QUESTIONS BY BERTHOLD AUERBACH EISENLOHR, A.M. NEW YORK-:-CTNCTNXATI-:-CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY COPYRIGHT, 1908, BY LEWIS ADDISON RHOADES Entered at Stationers' Hall, London Schiller's Ballads PREFATORY NOTE little volume is only introductory. The se- lections include some of Schiller's most charac- teristic and famous poems, but the editor had no thought of showing the poet's development or his progress in his art. Of his earlier poems, which only his name rescues from merited oblivion, no example has been given, and of the so-called second period only two, 5ln bte greube and te otter ried)enlanb. The ballads are the only class well represented, but enough of the others have been selected to show their character. A brief introductory note gives the external facts regarding each poem, and the footnotes aim to explain whatever is necessary for the understanding of the text, but nothing more. Viehoffs chronology has been followed in the arrangement of the poems. The vocabulary is intended to be complete, including proper names as well as words occurring only in the notes or questions. The questions are included to furnish a basis for teachers who prefer to conduct the recitation entirely in German. No outline of the poet's life or critical essay on his poems as a whole has been attempted. So much excellent work on the subject 3 2054323 4 SCHILLER'S BALLADS AND LYRICS is so easily available that this seemed quite unneces- sary. It remains, therefore, only to thank those who have aided me in the preparation of the work, and here the relation has been chiefly that of teacher and student. The separate introductions, as well as a large part of the vocabulary, were compiled under my direction either as class-room or special work. The same is true of a portion of the notes, but all this material has been carefully revised, so that my chief obligation remains one of interested sympathy in the work. To my colleague and associate Prof. B. A. Eisenlohr are wholly due the questions on the poems and the revision of the vocabulary to contain words used only in them. Finally, to the American Book Company, at whose suggestion the book was begun, and whose patience and courtesy more than once served to urge on a task that was long delayed, my special acknowledgments are also due.

The poem belongs to Schiller's second period, and, though showing extravagant enthusiasm and uncontrolled emotion, is less bombastic and exaggerated than his earlier efforts. The subject is characteristic of the i8th century cult of abstract ideals, and reflects the enthusiasm that KOrner's friendship aroused. As a hymn sung at a social gathering it celebrates the love of humanity and universal brotherhood. The first two stanzas tell the subject and the members of the company ; the next two present joy as the law of the animate and inanimate world, the third pair refer to the moral world, while the last two pledge a sacred vow to the Good Spirit. The chorus strikes the keynote of the Divine Fatherhood; then from the Unknown it develops this conception as the Creator, who guides and re- wards and judges justly, up to the Good Spirit to whom the vow is pledged. In later years Schiller severely censured this poem, but it had appealed to the German public and has always remained a popular favorite among his lyrics. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was partly inspired by it. greube, fdioner otterfunfen, Stodjter QU (lt)ftum, 2Bir betreten feuertrurtfen, ^nmmltfdje, bein >dltgtum. 2)eine 3<*uber binben timber, 2Ba bie 9Jlobe ftreng geteilt; Me 9ftenf(f)en toerben Sriiber, 2Bo bein fanfter gliigel toeilt. 5. ^ttnmltfdjc : i. e. greube. 7. 9Dtobe : the charm of a com- mon joy unites those separated by caste or custom. djtller Sfior. etb umf<$Iungen, SHtfltonen I Xicfcn $uf$ ber ganjcn SBelt !

This little lyric is familiar and dear to the heart of the Ger- man nation. Its beautiful simplicity of language and its musical cadence make it quite equal to much of Goethe's best work, while the riddle of its meaning gives an added charm of its own. Various interpretations have been suggested, but it is usually considered that the 9Mbcf)en au bet fjrembf allegorically presents the spirit of poesy that wanders through this work-a-day world, bestowing here her blossoms, there the matured fruit of her high ideals. With each new year, each awakening of the soul, her potent influence is felt, and though all share her gifts, the best are reserved for the lovers, for love is itself poesy. %n einem Sal bet armcn irten @rfcf)ien mit jebem jungen 3afyr, obalb bie erften Serdjen fcfynrirrten, (Jin 9JMbd)en fcfyon unb nnmberbar. iigel griinen Unb be (ife SRinbe fjmngt. 9lu ber tronte blouem Spiegel Sadjt ber unbemollte 3eu, TOber n>el)en 3ep^r $Iiigel, Sltigen treibt ba junge 9tet. ^n bent $am erttjac^en 2teber, llnb bie Oreabe fynfyi : Seine Slumen fe^ren mieber, Seine Stouter ferret nidjt. note long tft', ba^ icf) tt)aHe uc^enb bvtrrf) ber (5rbe 2rlur I Stitan, betne tro^Ien aKe anbt' id) nac^ ber teuren pur ; 6. ber . . . 3eu : render the cloudless sky; from his worship upon mountain tops Zeus was sometimes associated with the sky in general. 7. 3 e ^^ r : represented in classic art as a winged youth bearing flowers. 9.

C5 polyfrates SBaHabe Written in June 1797, and first published in the 9Ktlfett= Snmonadj in 1798. The source is a stdry told by Herodotus about Polycrates, the ruler of Samos, who had formed an alliance with Amasis, King of Egypt. He was successful in everything he undertook, until at last Amasis became alarmed at his friend's exceptional good fortune, for he believed the gods were only leading him on to overwhelming destruction. He therefore advised him to sacrifice his dearest treasure in order to propitiate the jealousy of the gods. Polycrates chose a very valuable ring and cast it 2. Swinger : here = arena. c8 djiller into the sea. Shortly afterwards, a fisherman brought a large fish to the palace, as a tribute to the king. When the fish was cut open the ring was found inside. The king reported this strange incident to Amasis, and the latter, fearing that he would also be overwhelmed by the calamity which he believed was threatening his friend, broke off the alliance. Later, so the account continues, Polycrates was taken prisoner by the Persians and crucified. r ftanb auf feine 2)ad)e 3innen, fdjaute mtt bergniigten Sinnen ba bef>errfd)te @amo fytn. ,,2)ie3 afle ift mir untertanig," Segann er ju 9lgt)pten3 $b'nig, ,,eftelje, bajj id) gliirflid) bin !"

The idea of a special divine Providence, though but lightly indicated, lends to the poem a tone of sin- cerity which even the most obdurate hardly withstands. One of the most difficult tasks was the description of the ritual, where the portrayal of the characteristic features might easily be exposed to ridicule. And yet you have accomplished, ac- cording to my judgment, all that one could ask. I have read the poem aloud several times, in which way I most easily distinguish discords, and never have I come across a line to mar the harmony. It will ever remain one of my favorites."

The source of the ballad was Vertot's . Histoire des cheva- liers de Fordre dc Malte, upon which the poet's unfinished drama >te 9JlaItefcr was also based. According to Vertot, the incident related in the poem took place under the rule of Helion de Villeneuve, who was Grand Master from 1323 to 1346. Actuated by the spirit of love, as well as by caution and pru- dence, he forbade his knights, on pain of being deprived of the gown of the order, to fight with a certain crocodile or amphibian monster, which lived in the morasses along the river bank, and had its den in a cave at the foot of Mt. Stephen. From here the beast pounced upon pilgrims to Mt. Stephen, or upon shepherds, and devoured sheep, horses, and cattle. Many of the bravest knights of the monastery had secretly undertaken to slay him, and had lost their lives in the attempt. Schiller follows Vertot's version of the story so closely that it is not necessary to retell it here. His only variation is at the close, when Vertot makes the Grand Master, at the intercession of the knights, forgive the offender and bestow upon him great honors and distinction. By beginning in the middle of the story, when the combat is already ended, Schiller at once transfers the center of inter- est from spectacular adventure to moral conflict. The poem teaches the submission of the individual will to a higher power, and that self-denial is a greater virtue than heroic courage. 2Ba rennt ba SSol!, toa totiljt fidj bort $)ie langen affett braufenb fort? tiirjt 9tljobu unter geuer glammen?

The source of the poem was one of the fables of Hyginus. Schiller has followed the story very closely, except that he makes the tyrant assure Moeros, instead of the hostage, that should he fail to return his friend should die in his place and he be released from punishment. This change places the em- phasis not upon the trust reposed by one friend in the other, but upon the loyalty of Moeros. To emphasize this the poet has also introduced the various obstacles that he had to over- come while returning. The change that comes over the king when he is convinced that fidelity is not merely an empty de- lusion forms a fitting and impressive conclusion. bem St)tannen, fd)lid) 5Jioro, ben 2)old) im etoanbe ; 3fm fdjlugen bie >afd)er in 2knbe. ,,2Ba njoflteft bit mit bem 3)old)e, fpridj !"

Ancient legends correctly represent the tilling of the soil and the plant- ing of seed as the beginning of civilization, and the Greeks celebrated one of their most important national festivals in honor of Demeter or Ceres, as the goddess of the grain and the founder of civil society. This festival was held at Eleusis and hence the title of the poem.

The poem originally bore the title SSoItaireS ^uceKe unb bte Don Orleans, and the first stanza is directed against Voltaire's travesty of the career of Joan of Arc. His calumny, for such Schiller rightly regarded it, had been so fully accepted in the literary world that the poet, when writing his drama, refused to make known his subject lest it should appear ridicu- lous. It is therefore true that her memory was as well served in the literary world by Schiller in his drama as it was in the theological world by Pope Calixtus II., who revoked her ex- communication. eble SMIb ber 9J?enfd)Ijeit gu Derljoljnen, 3>m tiefftcn taube roa^te bid) ber @pott; $rieg fiifyrt ber 28i auf eroig mit bem <5djonen, (Sir glaubt nidjt an ben Snget unb ben ott; em Derjen un'H er feine c()a^e rauben, 2)en 28af)n befrtegt er unb berlefct ben lauben. , mie bu felbft au finblic!)em efct)Icd)te, elbft etne fromme djiifertn rote bu, 9ieid)t bir bie i(^tfun[t iljre otterrec^te, cjjroingt fic^ mit bir ben ero'gen ternen su.

Schiller cites as the source of his poem the Chronicum Hel- veticum of the Swiss historian Tschudi, and makes the follow- ing annotation : ' ' Tschudi, who gives us this anecdote, says also that the priest who had this little encounter with the Count of Habsburg later became chaplain to the Elector of Mainz, and in the election which followed the Great Interregnum did much to direct the Elector's thought toward the Count." The original seat of the Habsburgs was in northern Switzerland, where vestiges of their original castle are still to be seen.

Written sometime previous to July 5, 1804, and first published in 2)a afd)enlwd) fur )atneit. Probably undertaken while the poet was working on the Tell theme. This charming and simple little song doubtless has as its basis a popular legend of an old couple who had a disobedient son. Instead of tending the herds, the youth wished to chase the mountain goats. One day he lost his way in the ice and snow of some high peak. He was in despair of his life, when suddenly the mountain spirit appeared to him, saying, "The goats which you chase are my herds, why do you pursue them ? " The spirit then showed him the path, and the dis- contented boy returned home and tended the sheep. JHMflft bu nid)t ba Sammlein fyiiten?

They make him acquainted with the German people, and describe faithfully the various sections of the German Empire. ^[ These volumes, each containing nearly one hundred stories, furnish interesting reading-matter, and include, besides, valuable suggestive material for exercises in con- versation and composition. While each chapter is com- plete in itself, yet, taken together, they form a complete whole, and afford a good general acquaintance with the scenes in which they are laid. In Geschichten von Deutschen Stadten, the stories commence with the cities on the coast of the North Sea, and progress through the leading towns of the German Empire. In Geschichten vom Rhein, the reader starts from the source of the Rhine, and follows it throughout its course. These sketches all portray the romance of Germany its scenery, cities, castles, and homes, interweaving with the descriptions the legends and folk-lore of the people. They do not, how- ever, consist of fiction only, but furnish also many facts of historical, geographical, and literary importance. The carefully compiled vocabularies furnish ample aid. The maps help show the significance of the tales. AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY (S. 225) A BRIEF GERMAN COURSE $1.20 By C. F. KAYSER, Ph.D., Professor of German, Normal College of the City of New York, and FREDERICK MONTESER, Ph.D., First Assist- ant in German, DeWitt Clinton High School, New York MANY valuable features differentiate the Brief Ger- man Course from the conventional beginners' book in German. Each lesson contains one or more topics of grammar, a special vocabulary, and exercises in reading and writing German, with such suggestions and helps for the student as are needed. The arrangement of the subject-matter has been determined by pedagogic con- siderations and practical experience. The recommenda- tions of the Modern Language Association have been followed. ^j" To secure to the pupil variety and interest in his work, and to facilitate their mastery, the difficulties of declension and conjugation are introduced gradually. Elementary syntax is treated from the beginning in immediate connec- tion with the study of forms. The transition from dis- connected sentences to connected reading is made simple by the use of real idiomatic German sentences. ^j Frequent review lessons are given, containing gram- matical questions, interesting reading matter, both prose and verse, and exercises in conversation. The reading matter is written in an easy, fluent style, and illustrates German life, history, geography, and literature. The book includes complete German-English and English-Ger- man vocabularies, an appendix of collected paradigms of declensions and conjugations, and an index. AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY A BRIEF FRENCH COURSE $1.25 By ANTOINE MUZZARELLI, Officier d' Academic, Professor of Modern Languages and Literature THE Brief French Course is intended for all students who can give but one year to the study of French, as required by the leading colleges and universities, and also fully meets the demands of college instructors for a brief but comprehensive manual. The work combines clearness and simplicity with completeness and thorough- ness. Good judgment has been exercised in selecting for treatment only the most essential rules of syntax and the most important principles of grammar. The essential rules of French and English syntax are contrasted in such a way as to bring out most clearly the great differences in the two languages. ^[ The exercises in reading and writing French are bright and breezy, and embody French as it is used to-day. They furnish abundant practice on the topics discussed, and give the student an intelligent understanding of the difficulties of syntax. Because of the interesting nature and great variety of their words and phrases, these exercises are unusually helpful and instructive. The appendix con- tains those rules of syntax that have been purposely omitted from the body of the work. It gives also a complete list of irregular verbs conjugated in all their tenses, moods, and per- sons. The book incorporates the new laws of syntax offi- cially promulgated by the Minister of Public Instruction of the French Republic and approved by the Academic Fran^aise.

FRANQOIS, Instructor in French, College of the City of New York Introductory French Prose Composition $0.25 Advanced French Prose Composition 80 THE INTRODUCTORY FRENCH PROSE COMPOSITION is designed for students with some knowledge of French grammar that is, in the second year in the high school, or the second term in college, although it may be used satisfactorily earlier in the course. Part I presents a systematic review of the elements of French grammar by means of an original narrative, and Part II contains an adapted story. The progressive ex- ercises in grammar, transposition, and translation, the general review, and the vocabulary are all arranged for interesting and effective work. 1\ The ADVANCED FRENCH PROSE COMPOSI- TION is intended for the third and fourth years in high schools, or for the second year in colleges, and may be used with any complete grammar. Each exercise in Part I includes the rules of grammar to be reviewed, a list of verbs with the required preposition, a portion of French text, work in transposition, questions to be asked the student, and an English passage for translation into French. For Part II the author has chosen an interesting subject, "A Stranger Visiting Paris," and has based upon it numerous French and English passages for translation, in this way imparting much valuable information about that city.

In the SECOND BOOK the accentuation agrees with the latest rules of the language. AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY (S.233) A PRACTICAL COURSE IN SPANISH $1.25 By H. M. MONSANTO, A.M., and LOUIS A. LANGUELLIER, LL.D. Revised by FREEMAN M. JOSSELYN, JR., Assistant Professor of Romance Languages in Boston University IN the revision of this popular text-book the editor has recast only such grammatical statements as seemed to demand it. His special care has been to present the Spanish text in accordance with the latest rules for orthography and accent. The lessons contain : 1. EXAMPLES, accompanied by their nearest English equivalents, and made to illustrate the grammatical and idiomatic principles which are involved in the lessons. 2. VOCABULARIES placed before the exercises, the masculine and feminine names being grouped separately, and other parts of speech arranged alphabetically. 3. SPANISH EXERCISES. The sentences in Span- ish require only the application of instructions contained in the lesson, or in the preceding ones, for translation into English. 4. ENGLISH EXERCISES. The analogous sen- tences in English are presented in immediate connection with the preceding ones in Spanish. The principles ap- plied in the Spanish exercises are thus made an effective auxiliary in translating Spanish into English. 5. GRAMMATICAL AND IDIOMATIC PRIN- CIPLES.
