I believe the two last stanzas, as they are in a different measure, ought to belong to another ballad. An idea something similar to the thought in the last lines was expressed by Socrates, whose arm having come in contact with one of his "ὑpokolpioi [hupokolpioi]," Critobulus or Cleobulus, the philosopher complained of a shooting pain as far as his shoulder for some days after, and therefore very properly resolved to teach his disciples in future without touching them. 31. Tambourgi! Tambourgi! thy 'larum afar. Song, stanza 1, line 1. These stanzas are partly taken from different Albanese songs, as far as I was able to make them out by the exposition of the Albanese in Romaic and Italian. 32. Remember the moment when Previsa fell. Song, stanza 8, line 1. It was taken by storm from the French [October, 1798]. 33. Fair Greece! sad relic of departed Worth! etc. Stanza lxxiii. line 1. Some thoughts on this subject will be found in the subjoined papers, pp. 187-208. 34. Spirit of Freedom! when on Phyle's brow Thou sat'st with Thrasybulus and his train. Stanza lxxiv. lines 1 and 2. Phyle, which commands a beautiful view of Athens, has still considerable remains: it was seized by Thrasybulus, previous to the expulsion of the Thirty. [Byron and Hobhouse caught their first glance of Athens from this spot, December 25, 1809. (See Byron's note.) "The ruins," says Hobhouse, "are now called Bigla Castro, or The Watchtower."] 35. Receive the fiery Frank, her former guest. Stanza lxxvii. line 4. When taken by the Latins, and retained for several years. See Gibbon. [From A.D. 1204 to 1261.] 36. The Prophet's tomb of all its pious spoil. Stanza lxxvii. line 6. Mecca and Medina were taken some time ago by the Wahabees, a sect yearly increasing. [_Vide supra_, p. 151.] 37. Thy vales of evergreen, thy hills of snow. Stanza lxxxv. line 3. On many of the mountains, particularly Liakura, the snow never is entirely melted, notwithstanding the intense heat of the summer; but I never saw it lie on the plains, even in winter. [This feature of Greek scenery, in spring, may, now and again, be witnessed in our own country in autumn--a blue lake, bordered with summer greenery in the foreground, with a rear-guard of "hills of snow" glittering in the October sunshine.] 38.
