J821.] List of New Publi 
connected tale of the plot, which has in 
itself nothing very inviting, and is im¬ 
portant only as it has been made the ve¬ 
hicle of so much thought and poetry, We 
will present our readers with the follow¬ 
ing specimen of the translator’s powers in 
the easiest department of his task. It is 
Margaret’s song, which commences, 
“ Meine RuJi isi hir <.” 
“ My peace of mind’s min'd ; 
My bosom is sore: 
I ne’er meet him now, 
I shall ne'er meet him more— 
* * * * 
“ My poor shatter’d reason 
Is quickly departing; 
And my poor foolish heart ^ 
Withsoirow is smarting.” 
It is hardly our office to caution the trans¬ 
lator against the hoaxes which his printei 
may play upon him, but surely something 
of this sort must have happened to the fol¬ 
lowing piece of prose, which is thus ludi¬ 
crously arranged— 
“ Woe ! woe ! 
Thou hast destroy VI it— 
This lovely world 
Thou hast crush'd into ruin— 
It totters, reels, and falls , 
A demi-god has crush’d it! 
Mournfully 
We hear its fragments oft to vacancy, 
And weep 
Over its ruined beauty ! 
Son of the eaith ! 
As thou art powerful, 
Jn splendour build 
The fabric u p again : 
In thy own bosom build it up ! 
A renovated life 
Begin with clearer sense 
And let new’ songs resound!” 
We have said more of this production than 
it deserves, because we think we trace in 
it the same hand which has already cruelly 
disfigured one of the prettiest flowers ot 
modern German literature.
