And ocean's crested spray, To him due homage pay — Creation's Grod.
The correspondence these old men of Hawaii saw in the rites and the heaven of popery with the pagan- ism they remembered of ^^ the days of Kamehameba Nui," has its parallel in the identity between the scenes Digitized by Google MIDDLETON AND VICTOR HUGO. 161 '^^ and the shows of Rome papal and Rome pagan, as ob- fti served by the classic Middleton, who says of himself ^ when visiting modem Rome^ that ^^ nothing, I fomid, concur...red so much with my original purpose of con- e versing with the ancients, or so much helped my im- i agination to fancy myself wandering about in old hea- r then Rome, as to observe and attend to their religious worship, all whose ceremonies appeared plainly to have been copied from the rituals of primitive paganism, as if handed down by an uninterrupted succession from the priests of old to the priests of new Rome ; while each of them readily explained and called to my mind some passage of a classic author, where the same cer- emony was described as transacted in the same form and manner, and in the same place where I now saw it executed before my eyes ; so that as oft as I was present a,t any religious exercises in their churches, it was more natural to fancy myself looking on at some solemn act of idolatry in old Rome, than assisting at a worship instituted on the principles and formed upon the plan of Christianity." We say, furthermore, that notable facts warrant the assertion that the history of Romanism at the Sand- wich Islands, like what Victor Hugo has lately said of Jesuitism in Europe, is written in the history of hu- man progress there, but it is written on the back.
