LENORA. [_When morning's gleam was on the hill_]

P. 437.

CHLOE. [_Oh_! _we have a sister on earthly dominions_]

Reprinted in _Targum_, 1835, pp. 47-48.

When gathering _Chloe_ into the pages of _Targum_ Borrow very
considerably revised the text. Here is the concluding stanza of each of
the two versions:--

1823

_But God shook his sceptre_, _and thunder'd appalling_,
_While winds swept the branches with turbulent sigh_;
_Then trembled the host_, _but they heeded his calling_,
_And bore the sweet maiden_, _yet praying_, _on high_.
"_Ah_, _we had a sister on earthly dominions_!"
_All sung_, _as thro' heaven they joyously trod_,
_And bore_, _with flush'd faces_, _and fluttering pinions_,
_The yet-praying maid to the throne of her God_.

1835

_Then frown'd the dread father_;_ his thunders appalling_
_To rattle began_, _and his whirlwinds to roar_;
_Then trembled the host_, _but they heeded his calling_,
_And Chloe up-snatching_, _to heaven they soar_.
_O we had a sister on earthly dominions_!
_They sang as through heaven triumphant they stray'd_,
_And bore with flush'd faces and fluttering pinions_
_To God's throne of brightness the yet praying maid_.

P. 437.

SEA-SONG. [_King Christian stood beside the mast_]

In 1826 and 1835 the title was changed to _National Song_.

Borrow published no less than four versions of this _National Song_:

1. In _The Monthly Magazine_, 1823, p. 437,

2. In _Romantic Ballads_, 1826, pp. 146-148,

3. In The Foreign Quarterly Review, 1830, pp. 70-71,

4. In _Targum_, 1835, pp. 49-50.

Upon each occasion he practically rewrote the _Song_, so that all four
versions differ completely. As an illustration of these differences I
give the first stanza of each version:

1823.

_King Christian stood beside the mast_,
_In smoke and flame_;
_His heavy cannon rattled fast_
_Against the Gothmen_, _as they pass'd_:
_Then sunk each hostile sail and mast_
_In smoke and flame_.
"_Fly_, (_said the foe_,) _fly_, _all that can_,
_For who with Denmark's Christian_
_Will ply the bloody game_?"
