Dreams of the summer night ! Tell her her lover keeps Watch ! while in slumbers light She sleeps ! My lady sleeps ! Sleeps ! Of course Mr. Poe did not like " The Spanish Stu- dent." How could he? "Its thesis is unoriginal, its incidents are antique, its plot is no plot, its cha- racters have no character — in short, it is little better than a play upon words to style it ' A Play' at all." Besides, it was pilfered — not so much from the Ex- emplary Novels of Cervantes as from his own tragi- come...dy, "Politian" : " His body is in Segovia, His soul is in Madrid." Two years after the appearance of this feeble shadow of "Romeo and Juliet" we had bodies of corporeal substance in "The Belfry of Bruges and Other Poems." Traces of Professor Longfellow's early manner as unsuccessfully put forth in "The HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW. 113 Beleaguered City" were triumphant in the prologue, "Carillon," and in "The Arrow and the Song," winged, far-flying, and, as many think, the most perfect of all his smaller pieces.
