parture for America he was sped by a rhymed tribute from Michael Drayton, exhorting him to go on with the same work in Virginia:-- Entice the Muses thither to repair; Entreat them gently; train them to that air, he urges. It was a rude air. To the ordinary privations of the pioneer, and the wearing routine of official duties, were added the sudden horrors of the James River massacre (March, 1622), and the stress of the troubled days which followed. Yet when Sandys returned to England in 1625, he brought with him the ten books which completed his version of the Metamorphoses. This translation lived to be much admired by Dryden and Pope, and, what is more important, undoubtedly had great influence upon their method of versification. The not altogether admirable distinction, therefore, belongs to Sandys of having laid the foundation for the form of heroic couplet which became a blight upon English poetry in the eighteenth century. At all events, the accident of his having lived f

Book XIV: the Pilgrims at Plymouth (A. D. 1620-1621.) These extracts are taken from that valuable collection, Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers of the Colony of Plymouth, from 1602 to 1625; now first collected from original records and contemporaneous printed documents, by Alexander Young, Boston, 1841. The first extract is from Edward Winslow's Brief Narration, London, 1646 (Young, p. 384). The rest are from the journal of Bradford and Winslow, commonly called Mourt's Relation, London, 1622.

One of the name was overseer of highways, and one was churchwarden in Ilkley. It is well established, by tradition and by documents, that the poet's ancestors were in Horsforth. In 1625 we find Edward Longfellow (perhaps from Ilkley) purchasing Upper House, in Horsforth; and in 1647 he makes over his house and lands to his son William. This William was a well-to-do clothier who lived in Upper House, and, besides, possessed three other houses or cottages (being taxed for 4 hearths), with gardens, closes, crofts, etc. He had two sons, Nathan and William, and four or five daughters. William was baptized at Guiseley (the parish church of Horsforth), October 20, 1650. The f
