A SKETCH1 OF THE CRUSADES.
“Yes, love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal2 fire With angels shared, by Allah given, To lift from earth our low desire. Devotion wafts3 the mind above, But heaven itself descends4 in love.”—The Giaour.
There is something in the first approach of spring—in the budding of the young leaves, the freshness increasing warmth and lustre6 of the sun—as contrasted with the gloomy winter which has just departed, that can not fail to awaken7 ideas of a gay and lively character in all hearts accessible to the influences of gratitude8 and love. In compliance9, as it were, with this feeling, a custom has more or less generally prevailed among all nations, and in all ages, of celebrating the arrival of this season by merriment, and song, and rural triumph. Like many others, admirable practices of the olden time, the setting apart to joy and innocent festivity of the first of May is now gradually falling into neglect; but at the period of which we are about to treat, not Christmas itself could be observed with more reverential care than its inviting10 rival. On May-day, the evergreens11 which had decked the cottage and the church, the castle and the cloister12, gave way to garlands of such flowers as102 the mellowing13 influences of the season had already called into their existence of beauty and perfume; troops of morris-dancers paraded the public way with their fantastic dresses, glittering blades, and intricate evolutions; feasting and wassail, without which even pleasure itself was then deemed incomplete, prevailed on every side; in the crowded city, or in the secluded15 valley; in the hut of the serf, or in the turreted16 keep of his warlike lord; in the gloom of the convent, or in the glitter of the court, the same feelings were excited, the same animation17 glowed in every countenance18, the same triumphant19 demonstrations20 of joy hailed the glad harbinger of sunshine and of summer.
In England, above all other lands—the merry England of antiquity—was this pleasing festival peculiarly dear to all classes of society; at all times a period eagerly anticipated, and rapturously enjoyed, never perhaps was its arrival celebrated21 by all men with wilder revelry, with more enthusiastic happiness, than on the year which had accomplished22 the deliverance of their lion-hearted monarch23 from the chains of perfidious24 Austria. It seemed to the whole nation as though, not only the actual winter of the year, with his dark accompaniments of snow and storm, but the yet more oppressive winter of anarchy25 and misrule, of usurpation26 and tyranny, were about to pass away from the people, which had so long groaned27 under the griping sway of the bad John, or been torn by the savage28 strife29 of his mercenary barons30; while their legitimate32 and honored sovereign was dragging his dreary33 hours along in the dungeon34, from which he had but now escaped, through the devoted35 fidelity36 and unrivalled art of the minstrel Blondel.
Now, however, the king was on the throne of his fathers, girt with a circle of three gallant37 spirits, who had shed their blood like water on the thirsty deserts of Syria; earning not only earthly honor and renown38, but, as their imperfect faith103 had taught them to believe, the far more lofty guerdon of eternal life. Now their national festival had returned—they were called upon by the thousand voices of nature to give the rein39 to Pleasure, and why should they turn a deaf ear to her inspiring call?
The streets of London—widely different indeed from the vast wilderness40 of walls, which has risen like a ph?nix from the ashes of its predecessor41, but even at that early age a vast and flourishing town—were thronged43, from the earliest dawn, by a constant succession of smiling faces: old and young, men and maidens45, grave citizens and stern soldiers, all yielding to the excitement of the moment, all hurrying from the intricate lanes of the city to greet their king, who had announced his intention of holding a court at Westminster, and proceeding46 thence, at high noon, to feast with the city dignitaries in Guild-hall. The open stalls, which then occupied the place of shops, were adorned47 by a display of their richest wares48, decorated with wreaths of a thousand bright colors;—steel harness from the forges of Milan; rich velvets from the looms49 of Genoa; drinking-cups and ewers50 of embossed gold, glittered in every booth. The projecting galleries, which thrust forward their irregular gables far across the narrow streets, were hung with tapestries51 of price; while garlands of flowers, stretched from side to side, and the profusion52 of hawthorn53 boughs54, with their light green leaves and snowy blossoms, lent a sylvan55 appearance to the crowded haunts of the metropolis56. From space to space the streets were guarded by the city-watch in their white cassocks and glittering head-pieces; while ever and anon the train of some great lord came winding57 its way, with led horses in costly58 caparison, squires59 and pages in the most gorgeous fashion of the day, the banner and the knightly61 armor of the baron31 borne before him, from his lodgings62 in the Minories, or the more notorious Chepe. The air was literally63 alive with music and104 light laughter; even the shaven and cowled monk64, as he threaded his way through the motley concourse—suffered the gravity of his brow to relax into a smile when he looked upon the undisguised delight of some fair girl, escorted by her trusty bachelor; now stopping to gaze on the foreign curiosities displayed in decorated stalls; now starting in affected65 terror from the tramp and snort of the proud war-horse, or mustering66 a frown of indignation at the unlicensed salutation of its courtly rider; now laughing with unsuppressed glee at the strange antics of the mummers and morricers, who, in every disguise that fancy could suggest, danced and tumbled through the crowded ways—heedless of the disturbance67 they excited, or the danger they incurred68 from the hoofs69 of chargers which were prancing70 along in constant succession, to display the equestrian71 graces and firm seat of some young aspirant72 for the honors of chivalry73.
The whole scene was in the highest degree picturesque74, and such as no other age of the world could afford. The happiness which, although fleeting75 and fictitious76, threw its bright illumination over the whole multitude, oblivious77 of the cares, the labors78, and the sorrows of to-morrow, afforded a subject for the harp80 of the poet, no less worthy81 his inspired meditations82 than the gorgeous coloring and the rich costume of the middle ages might lend to the pencil of a Leslie or a Newton.
In a chamber83 overlooking with its Gothic casements84 this scene of contagious86 mirth—alone, unmoved by the gay hum which told of happiness in every passing breeze—borne down, as it would appear, by the weight of some secret calamity—sat Sir Gilbert à-Becket, of glorious form and unblemished fame. The bravest of the brave on the battle-plain, unequalled for wisdom in the hall of council, he had been among the first of those bold hearts who had buckled87 on their mighty88 armor to fight the good fight of Christianity—to rear the cross above the105 crescent—and to redeem90 the Savior’s sepulchre from the contaminating sway of the unbeliever.
There was not one among the gallant thousands who had followed their lion-hearted leader from the green vales of England to the sultry sands of Palestine, whose high qualities had been more frequently tried, or whose undaunted valor91 was more generally acknowledged, than the knight60 à-Becket; there was not one to whose lance the chivalrous92 Richard looked more confidently for support, nor one to whose counsel he more willingly inclined his ear. In the last desperate effort before the walls of Ascalon—when, with thirty knights93 alone, the English monarch had defied the concentrated powers, and vainly sought an opponent in the ranks of sixty thousand mussulmans—his crest94 had shone the foremost in those fierce encounters which have rendered the name of the Melec Ric a terror to the tribes of the desert that has endured even to the present day. It was at the close of this bloody95 encounter, that, conquered by his own previous exertions96 rather than by the prowess of his foemen—his armor hacked97 and rent, his war-steed slain98 beneath him—he had been overwhelmed by numbers while wielding99 his tremendous blade beside the bridle-rein of his king, and borne away by the Saracens into hopeless captivity100.
Days and months had rolled onward101, and the limbs of the champion were wasted and his constitution sapped by the vile102 repose103 of the dungeon; yet never for an instant had his proud demeanor104 altered, or his high spirit quailed105 beneath the prospect106 of an endless slavery. All means had been resorted to by his turbaned captors to induce him to adopt the creed107 of Mohammed. Threat of torments108 such as was scarcely endured even by the martyrs109 of old; promises of dominion110, and wealth, and honor; the agonies of thirst and hunger; the allurement111 of beauty almost superhuman—had been brought to assail14 the faith of the despairing but undaunted prisoner: and each temptation106 had been tried but to prove how unflinching was his resolution, and how implicit112 his faith in that Rock of Ages which he had ever served with enthusiastic, at least, if erring113 zeal114, and with a fervency115 of love which no peril116 could shake, no pleasure could seduce117 from its serene118 fidelity.
At length, when hope itself was almost dead within his breast; when ransom119 after ransom had been vainly offered; when the noblest moslem120 captives had been tendered in exchange for his inestimable head; and, to crown the whole, when the no-longer united powers of the crusading league had departed from the shores on which they had lavished121 so much of their best blood—his deliverance from the fetters122 of the infidel was accomplished by one of those extraordinary circumstances which the world calls chance, but which the Christian89 knows how to attribute to the infinite mercies of an overruling Providence123. The eagerness of the politic124 sultan—whose name ranks as high among the tribes of Islam as the glory of his opponents among the pale sons of Europe—to obtain proselytes from the nations which he had the sagacity to perceive were no less superior to the wandering hordes125 of the desert in arts than in arms, had led him to break through those laws which are so intimately connected with the religion of Mohammed—the laws of the harem! As the pious126 faith of the western warrior127 appeared to gain fresh vigor128 from every succeeding temptation, so did the anxiety of his conqueror129 increase to gain over to his cause a spirit the value of which was daily rendered more and more conspicuous130. In order to bring about this end, after every other device had failed, he commanded the admission to the Briton’s cell of the fairest maiden44 of his harem—a maid whose pure and spotless beauty went further to prove her unblemished descent than even the titles which were assigned to the youthful Leila, of almost royal birth.
107 Dazzled by her charms, and intoxicated132 by the fascination133 of her manner, her artless wit, and her delicate timidity, so far removed from the unbridled passion of such other eastern beauties as had visited his solitude134, the Christian soldier betrayed such evident delight in listening to her soft words, and such keen anxiety for a repetition of the interview, that the oriental monarch believed that he had in sooth prevailed. Confidently, however, as he had calculated on the conversion135 of the believing husband by the unbelieving wife, the bare possibility of an opposite result had never once occurred to his distorted vision. But truly has it been said, “Magna est veritas et pr?valebit!” The damsel who had been sent to create emotion in the breast of another, was the first to become its victim herself: she whose tutored tongue was to have won the prisoner from the faith of his fathers, was herself the first to fall away from the creed of her race. Enamored, beyond the reach of description, of the good knight, whose attractions of person were no less superior to the boasted beauty of the oriental nobles, than his rich and enthusiastic mind soared above their prejudiced understandings, she had surrendered her whole soul to a passion as intense as the heat of her native climate; she had lent a willing ear to the fervid136 eloquence137 of her beloved, and had drank in fresh passion from the very language which had won her reason from the debasing superstitions138 of Islamism to the bright and everlasting139 splendors141 of the Christian faith. From this moment the eastern maid became the bride of his affections, the solace143 of his weary hours, the object of his brightest hopes. He had discovered that she was worthy of his love; he was sure that her whole being was devoted to his welfare; and he struggled no longer against the spirit with which he had battled, as unworthy his country, his name, and his religion.
It was not long ere the converted maiden had planned the escape, and actually effected the deliverance, of her affianced lover. She had sworn to join him in his flight; she had promised108 to accompany him to his distant country, and to be the star of his ascendant destinies, as she had been the sole illuminator144 to his hours of desolation and despair.
Rescued from his fetters, he had lain in concealment145 on the rocky shores of the Mediterranean146, anxiously awaiting the vessel147 which was to convey him to the land of his birth, and her whose society alone could render his being supportable. The vessel arrived: but what was the agony of his soul on learning that she whom he prized above light, and life, and all save virtue148, had fallen a sacrifice to the furious disappointment of her indignant countrymen! Maddened with grief, and careless of an existence which had now become a burden rather than a treasure, he would have returned to avenge149 the wrongs of his lost Leila, and perish on her grave, had not her emissaries—conscious that in such a case the fate which had befallen the mistress must undoubtedly150 be theirs likewise—compelled him to secure their common safety by flight.
After weary wanderings, he had returned a heart-stricken wretch151 to his native England, at that moment rejoicing with unfeigned delight at the recovery of her heroic king. He sometimes mingled152 in the labors of the council or the luxuries of the banquet, but it was evident to all that his mind was far away! that for him there might indeed be the external semblance153 of joy, but that all within was dark and miserable154! It was plain that, in the words of the poet—
“That heavy chill had frozen o’er the fountains of the tears, And though the eye may sparkle still, ’tis where the ice appears.”
On this morning of universal joy—to him a period fraught155 with the gloomiest recollections, for it was the anniversary of that sad day on which he had parted from the idol156 of his heart, never to behold157 her more!—on this morning he had secluded himself from the sight of men; he was alone with his memory! His eyes indeed rested on the letters of an illuminated158 missal109 which lay open before him; but the long, dark lock of silky hair which was grasped in his feverish159 hand, showed too plainly that his grief was still of that harrowing and fiery160 character which prevents the mind from tasting as yet the consolations161 of Divine truth. He had sat thus for hours, unconscious of the passing multitude, whose every sound was borne to his unheeding ears by the fresh breeze of spring. His courtly robe and plumed162 bonnet163, his collar, spurs, and sword, lay beside him, arranged for the approaching festival by his officious page; but no effort could have strung his nerves or hardened his heart on that day to bear with the frivolous164 ceremonies and false glitter of a court. He recked not now whether his presence would lend a zest165 to the festival, or whether his absence might be construed166 into offence. The warrior, the politician, the man, were merged167 in the lover! Utter despondency had fallen upon his spirit. Like the oak of his native forests, he was proud and unchanged in appearance, but the worm was busy at his heart. Even tears would have been a relief to the dead weight of despair which had benumbed his very soul; but never, since that fatal hour, had one drop relieved the aching of his brain, or one smile gleamed across his haggard features. Mechanically he fulfilled his part in society: he moved, he spoke168, he acted, like his fellow-men; but he was now become, from the most ardent169 and impetuous of his kind, a mere170 creature of habit and circumstance.
So deeply was he now absorbed in his dark reveries, that the increasing clamor of the multitude had escaped his attention, although the character of the sounds was no longer that of unmingled pleasure. The voices of men, harsh and pitched in an unnatural171 key, rude oaths, and tumultuous confusion, proclaimed that, if not engaged in actual violence, the mob was at least ripe for mischief173. More than once, during the continuance of these turbulent sounds, had the plaintive174 accents of a110 female voice been distinctly audible—when on a sudden a shriek175 arose of such fearful import, close beneath the casements of the abstracted baron, that it thrilled to his very heart. It seemed to his excited fancy that the notes of a well-remembered voice lent their music to that long-drawn cry; nay176, he almost imagined that his own name was indistinctly blended in that yell of fear.
With the speed of light he had sprung to his feet, and hurried to the lattice; but twice before he reached it, had the cry repeated, calling on the name of “Gilbert!” with a plaintive energy that could no longer be mistaken. He gained the embrasure, dashed the trellised blinds apart, and there—struggling in the licentious177 grasp of the retainers who ministered to the brutal178 will of some haughty179 noble—her raven180 tresses scattered181 to the winds of heaven, her turbaned shawl and flowing caftan rent and disordered by the rude hands of lawless violence—he beheld182 a female form of unrivalled symmetry, clad in the well-remembered garments of the East. Her face was turned from him, and the dark masses of hair which had escaped from their confinement183 entirely184 concealed185 her features; still there was an undefined resemblance which acted so keenly upon his feelings, that the thunder of heaven could scarcely burst with a more appalling186 crash above the heads of the guilty than did the powerful tones of the crusader as he bade them, “as they valued life, release the damsel!” With a rapid shudder187 which ran through every limb at his clear summons, she turned her head. It was—it was his own lost Leila! the high and polished brow; the eyes that rivalled in languor188 the boasted organs of the wild gazelle; the rapturous ecstasy189 that kindled190 every lineament as she recognised her lover’s form—
——“the voice that clove191 through all the din5, As a lute’s pierceth through the cymbal’s clash, Jarred but not drowned by the loud brattling”—
111
were all, all Leila’s! To snatch his sword from its scabbard, to vault192 at a single bound from the lofty casement85, to force his way through the disordered press, to level her audacious assailants to the earth, was but a moment’s work for the gigantic power of the knight, animated193 as he now was by all those feelings which can minister valor to the most timid, and give strength to the feeblest arm! He beheld her whom he had believed to be snatched for ever from his heart, nor could hundreds of mail-clad soldiers have withstood his furious onset194! He had already clasped his recovered treasure in one nervous arm, while with the other he brandished195 aloft the trusty blade, which had so often carried havoc196 and terror to the centre of the moslem lines; when the multitude, enraged197 at the interference of a stranger with what to them appeared the laudable occupation of persecuting198 a witch or infidel, seconded by the bold ruffians who had first laid hand upon the lovely foreigner, rushed bodily onward, threatening to overpower all resistance by the weight of numbers.
Gallantly199, however, and at the same time mercifully, did Sir Gilbert à-Becket support his previous reputation. Dealing200 sweeping201 blows with his huge falchion on every side, yet shunning202 to use the point or edge, he had cleft203 his way in safety to the threshold of his own door. Yet even then the final issue of the strife was far from certain; for so sudden had been the exit of the baron, and from so unusual an outlet204, that none of his household were conscious of their lord’s absence, and the massy portal was closed against the entrance of the lawful205 owner. Stones and staves flew thick around him; and so fiercely did the leaders of the furious mob press upon his retreat, that, yielding at length to the dictates206 of his excited spirit, he dealt the foremost a blow which would have cloven him to the teeth though he had been fenced in triple steel; thundering at the same time with his booted heel against the oaken leaves of his paternal207 gate, and shouting to page and squire112 within till the vaulted208 passages rang forth209 in startled echoes.
At this critical moment the din of martial210 music, which had long been approaching, heralded211 the royal procession; though so actively212 were the rioters engaged in their desperate onset, and so totally engrossed213 was the baron in the rescue of his recovered bride, that neither party were aware of it until its clangor rang close at hand, and a dazzling cavalcade214 of knights and nobles came slowly on the scene of action.
Of stature215 almost gigantic, noble features, and kingly bearing—his garb216 glittering with gold and jewels till the dazzled eye could scarcely brook217 its splendor142; backing a steed which seemed as though its strength and spirit might have borne Goliath to the field; and wielding a blade which no other arm in Christendom could have poised218 even for a second—the lion-hearted Richard, followed by every noble of his realm, dashed with his native impetuosity into the centre.
“Ha! St. George!” he shouted, in a voice heard clearly above the mingled clang of instruments and the tumult172 of the conflict; “have ye no better way to keep our festival than thus to take base odds219 on one? Shame on ye, vile recreants220! What, ho!” he cried, as he recognised the person of the knight, “our good comrade à-Becket thus hard bestead! Hence to your kennels221, ye curs of England!—dare ye match yourselves against the Lion and his brood?”
Loud rang the acclamations of the throng42, accustomed to the blunt boldness of their warrior-king, and losing sight of his haughty language in joy for his return and admiration222 of the additional glory which had accrued223 to the whole nation from the prowess of its champion: “God save thee, gallant lion-heart! Never was so brave a knight! never so noble a king!”
Louder still was the wonder of the monarch and his assembled court when they learned the strange adventure which had been brought to so fair a conclusion by their unexpected succor224.113 The lady threatened with the lasting140 indignation of the royal Saladin, though never really in danger of life, had devised the false report of her own death—knowing that it were hopeless for her to dream of flight, so long as the eyes of all were concentrated on her in dark and angry suspicion; and knowing also that no dread225 of instant dissolution nor hope of liberty could have induced her devoted lover to have quitted the land while she remained in “durance vile.”
When the first excitement—caused by the escape of a prisoner so highly esteemed226 as was the bold crusader—had ceased to agitate227 the mussulman divan228, and affairs had returned to their usual course—easily escaping from the vigilance of the harem guard, she had made good her flight to the seabathed towers of Venice, and thence to the classic plains of Italy. Then it was that the loneliness of her situation, the perils229, the toils230, the miseries231 which she must necessarily endure, weighed no less heavily on her tender spirits, than the unwonted labor79 of so toilsome a journey on her delicate and youthful frame. Ignorant of any European language, save the name of her lover, and the metropolis of his far-distant country, her sole reply to every query232 was the repetition, in her musical, although imperfect accents, of the words—“London,” “Gilbert.” Marvellous it is to relate—and were it not, in good sooth, history too marvellous—that her talismanic233 speech did at length convey her through nations hostile to her race, through the almost uninhabited forest, and across the snowy barrier of the Alps, through realms laid waste by relentless234 banditti, and cities teeming235 with licentious and merciless adventurers, to the chalky cliffs and verdant236 meadows of England! For weeks had she wandered through the streets of the vast metropolis, jeered237 by the cruel, and pitied, but unaided, by the merciful—tempted by the wicked, and shunned238 by the virtuous—repeating ever and anon her simple exclamation239, “114Gilbert, Gilbert!” till her strength was well nigh exhausted240, and her spirits were fast sinking into utter despondency and despair.
On the morning of the festival she had gone forth with hopes renewed, when she perceived the concourse of nobles crowding to greet their king—for she knew her Gilbert to be high in rank and favor—and fervently241 did she trust that this day would be the termination of her miseries. Again was she miserably242 deceived; so miserably that, perchance, had not the very assault which had threatened her with death or degradation243 restored her, as it were by magic, to the arms of him whom she had so tenderly and truly loved, she had sunk that night beneath the pressure of grief and anxiety, too poignant244 to be long endured. But so it was not ordained245 by that perfect Providence, which, though it may for a time suffer bold vice131 to triumph, and humble246 innocence247 to mourn, can ever bring real good out of seeming evil; and whose judgments248 are so inevitably249, in the end, judgments of mercy and of truth, that well might the minstrel king declare of old, in the inspired language of holy writ—
“I have been young, and now am old, yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken250, nor his seed begging bread.”
