Should the following song not be already in print, I can also furnish from the same source a version of the ballad on "Robin Goodfellow" by the same hand, should it be acceptable.[3] S. W. SINGER. "CANTIO. "O Pampine! quo venisti? Cur me spectas fronte tristi? Tolle caput, sis jucundus, Tolle poculum exue fundus, Et salutem jam bibamus, Ad sodales quos amamus; O Pampine! tibi primum Haustum summus hunc ad imum. Ecce de christallo factum Purum vas, et hoc intactum, Lympha nunc et succo plenum, Nec includit hoc venenum; Medicamen quod repellit Omnes malos, nec fefellit, O Pampine! invito Momo, Tibi, tu es meus homo. Hic est sacer fons et flumen, Quod qui potant vocant numen, Iras pellit, demit lites, Et superbos facit mites; Et post flumen hoc te amoenum Annos reparare senum: O Pampine! tibi habe, Bibe si sis dignus tabe. Hoc si tu gustabit nectar, Si sis Paris fies Hector, Iras demit inquietas, In memento facit lætas; Pro doloribus est solamen, Pro pulicibus medicamen; O Pampine! habe tibi, Bibe tu cum ego bibi. Hic est aqua vera fortis, Vincula quæ solvet mortis, Aut, si placet, aqua vitæ, Roborans ab atra Dite: Hinc sunt uti qui potestis Omnia, cibus, potis, vestis; O Pampine! tibi cito Bibe, aut ab hinc abito. Si frigistis, sine joco, Solo hoc utare foco, Si esuries hic sunt oves, Pulli, vituli, et boves; Quod si sitis ecce montem, Quem si scandes habet fontem; O Pampine! bibe rursus, Bibe, tu nam venit cursus. Si ægrotas sume potum, Vis ut valeas tolle totum, Cape potum hunc paratum, Sanus eris,--est probatum; Si in corpore aut in mente Dolebant in quavis dente; O Pampine! tibi statim Sume potum hinc gradatim. Bacche jam et jam Silene, Pocula impleatis plene, Ope jam adiutus vestra Domum, feram e fenestra. Ædes vertunt jam rotundæ, Et succedant res secundæ: O Pampine! tibi bibo, Bibe, vale! ego abibo." [Footnote 1: Southey was not aware that the whole of Chaucer's Poem, and the "Testament of Cressid," by Henryson, was translated by Kinaston and accompanied by a copious commentary in English, but only exists in one sole MS. The press of the Camden Society would be well employed on it.] [Footnote 2: In Baron von Aretin's _Beytrage zur Geschichte und Literatur_, vol. vii. p. 301.; but the copy, though a good text, was defective at the end.] [Footnote 3: [We are sure we are only expressing the opinion of the majority of our readers when we say it will be _most acceptable_.--ED.]] * * * * * STRANGE APPEARANCES IN THE SKY.
