[376] The horsetails, fixed upon a lance, a pacha's standard.

["When the vizir appears in public, three _thoughs_, or horse-tails, fastened to a long staff, with a large gold ball at top, is borne before him."--_Moeurs des Ottomans_, par A. L. Castellan (Translated, 1821), iv. 7.

Compare _Childe Harold_, Canto II., "Albanian War-Song," stanza 10, line 2; and _Bride of Abydos_, line 714 (_vide ante_, p. 189).]

[381] ["He who first _downs_ with the red cross may crave," etc. What vulgarism is this!--"He who _lowers_,--or _plucks down_,"

[382] [The historian, George Finlay, who met and frequently conversed with Byron at Mesalonghi, with a view to ill.u.s.trating "Lord Byron's _Siege of Corinth_," subjoins in a note the full text of "the summons sent by the grand vizier, and the answer." (See Finlay's _Greece under Othoman and Venetian Domination_, 1856, p. 266, note 1; and, for the original authority, see Brue's _Journal de la Campagne_, ... _en_ 1715, Paris, 1871, p. 18.)]

[383] {482} ["Thus against the wall they _bent_, Thus the first were backward _sent_."

--Gifford.]

[qd] _With such volley yields like gla.s.s_.--[MS. G. erased.]

[qe] _Like the mowers ridge_----.--[MS. G. erased.]

[384] ["Such was the fall of the foremost train."--Gifford.]

[385] {483} [Compare _The Deformed Transformed_, Part I. sc. 2 ("Song of the Soldiers")--

[387] {484} ["There stood a man," etc.--Gifford.]

[397] [The Spanish "renegado" and the Anglicized "renegade" were favourite terms of reprobation with politicians and others at the beginning of the century. When Southey's _Wat Tyler_ was reprinted in 1817, William Smith, the Member for Norwich, denounced the Laureate as a "renegado," an attack which Coleridge did his best to parry by contributing articles to the _Courier_ on "Apostasy and Renegadoism"

(Letter to Murray, March 26, 1817, _Memoir of John Murray_, 1891, i.

306). Byron himself, in _Don Juan_ ("Dedication," stanza i. line 5), hails Southey as "My Epic Renegade!" Compare, too, stanza xiv. of "_Lines addressed to a n.o.ble Lord_ (His Lords.h.i.+p will know why), By one of the small Fry of the Lakes" (i.e. Miss Barker, the "Bhow Begum" of Southey's _Doctor_)--

"And our Ponds shall better please thee, Than those now dishonoured seas, With their sh.o.r.es and Cyclades Stocked with Pachas, Seraskiers, Slaves and turbaned Buccaneers; Sensual Mussulmans atrocious, Renegadoes more ferocious," etc.]

[qk] {489} _These in rage, in triumph those_.--[MS. G. Copy erased.]

[ql] _Then again in fury mixing_.--[MS. G.]

[398] ["Dealing _death_ with every blow."--Gifford.]

[399] {490} [Compare _Don Juan_, Canto XIII. stanza lxi. lines 1, _seq._--
