Tomb." [41] "Rapunzel." [42] "King Arthur's Tomb." [43] _Ibid_. [44] "Rapunzel." [45] "Golden Wings." [46] See "Sir Galahad," "The Chapel in Lyoness," "A Good Knight in Prison." [47] See "Jason," Book xvii., 5-24, and the _Envoi_ to "The Earthly Paradise." [48] Some of Morris' sources were William of Malmesbury, "Mandeville's Travels," the "Gesta Romanorum," and the "Golden Legend." "The Man Born to be King" was derived from "The Tale of King Constans, the Emperor" in a volume of French romances ("Nouvelles francaises en prose du xiii.ieme Siecle," Paris, 1856) of which he afterwards (1896) made a prose translation. The collection included also "The friendship of Amis and Amile"; "King Florus and the Fair Jehane"; and "The History of Over Sea"; besides "Aucassin and Nicolete," which Morris left out because it had been already rendered into English by Andrew Lang. [49] His Vergil's "Aeneid," in the old fourteener of Chapman, was published in 1876. [50] _Vide supra_, p. 315. [51] Mackail, i., p. 168. [52] Lang's translation. [53] See vol. i., pp. 190-92. [54] The "Grettis Saga" (1869); the "Voelsunga Saga" (1870); "Three Northern Love Stories" (1875). [55] These, in order of publication, were "The House of the Wolfings" (1889); "The Roots of the Mountains" (1890); "The Story of the Glittering Plain" (1891); "The Wood Beyond the World" (1894); "The Well at the World's End" (1896); "The Water of the Wondrous Isles" (1897); and "The Sundering Flood" (1898). [56] Morris became so intolerant of French vocables that he detested and would "fain" have eschewed the very word literature. [57] This collection is made up of Swinburne's earliest work but is antedated in point of publication by "The Queen Mother, and Rosamond" (1861) dedicated to Rossetti; and "Atalanta in Calydon" (1865). "Poems and Ballads" was inscribed to Burne-Jones. [58] "Where the lady Mary is, With her five handmaidens whose names Are five sweet symphonies, Cecily, Gertrude, Magdalen, Margaret and Rosalys." --"The Blessed Damozel." [59] _Cf._ Browning's "The Heretic's Tragedy," _supra_, p. 276. [60] This was the subject of Massinger's "Virgin Martyr." [61] "Essays and Studies," pp. 85-88. [62] See "A Study of Ben Jonson"; "John Ford" (in "Essays and Studies"); and the introductions to "Chapman" and "Middleton" in the Mermaid Series. [63] _Vide supra_, pp. 90, 109,
