The Marseil laise, written to order, and in one night, to meet a sudden, imperative demand : struck out at the white heat of unconscious inspiration, perfect in all its parts, totus, teres, atque rotundus ; and in six months adopted by the people, the army, and the legislature of the whole nation. The air of the one, simple, solid, vigo rous, dignified, grand, the music of common sense and fixed determination ; the words, though poor enough, mingling trust, and prayer, and self-confidence, and ...respect for whoever is above us, and a readiness to light stoutly when God and the law are on our side : the other a war cry, a summons to instant battle, warning, appealing, denouncing, fiercely threatening the vengeance of the Furies; having no inspiration but glory, and invoking no god but liberty ; beginning in deliberate enthusiasm, and ending in conscious frenzy. How different the service too, to which the two songs have been put ! The one used always to sus tain, to build up, to perpetuate, to express loyalty and faithful endurance ; a song of peace and plethoric festivity.
