Demand that thy daughter expire ; Since thy triumph was bought by thy vow — Strike the bosom that's bared to thee now. And the voice of my mourning is o'er, And the mountains behold me no more : If the hand that I love lay me low, There cannot be pain in the blow ! And of this, oh, my father ! be sure — That the blood of thy child is as pure . T As the blessing I beg ere it flow,And the last thought that soothes me below.Though the virgins ofBe the judge and the hero unbent !chapter{Section 4I have won the great battle for thee, And my father and country are free. When this blood of thy giving hath gush'd, When the voice that thou lovest is hush'd, Let my memory still be thy pride, And forget not I smiled as I died! The vows of the ancients, made either in memory of miraculous deliverances, such as the vanquishing of an enemy, or any event of importance, were held as inviolable by the Jewish nation, and those feelings were no less cherished by the Greeks and Romans, even to an unnatural extent.The filial affection pourtrayed by the daughter of Jephtha is fmely expressed in this melody; the submission to that which she considered the imperative duty of a parent, and the soothing, the overwhelming sorrow not only of her father but of the virgin daughters of Salem, are expressed in language well suited to the lamentable tale.When the last anguish is over, and the stillness of death reigns in the mortal remains of his beloved daughter, she pathetically invokes her father to cherish her memory, and to bear in remembrance that shewas a willing victim, and resigned her life with a smile on her countenance.It is well known that the tale of Jeptha's sacrifice is involved in much o... ...

Left by his sire, too young such loss to know, Lord of himself ;—that heritage of woe, That fearful empire which the human breast But holds to rob the heart within of rest!— With none to check, and few to point in time The thousand paths that slope the way to crime; Then, when he most required commandment then Had Lara's daring boyhood governed men. 20 It skills not, boots not step by step to trace His youth through all the mazes of its race; Short was the course his restlessness had run, But long enough to leave him half undone. And Lara left in youth his father-land;But from the hour he waved his parting handEach trace waxed fainter of his course, till all Had nearly ceased his memory to recall. His sire was dust, his vassals could declare, 'Twas all they knew, that Lara was not there; 30 Nor sent, nor came he, till conjecture grew Cold in the many, anxious in the few. His hall scarce echoes with his wonted name, His portrait darkens in its fading frame, Another chief consoled his destined bride, The young forgot him, and the old had died; " Yet doth he live!" exclaims the impatient heir,And sighs for sables which he must not wear. A hundred scutcheons deck with gloomy grace The Laras' ... ... Read more
