THE people of Scotland, we well remember, for the feeling was universal, envied Ireland, when, a year ago, the King was hailed with such enthusiastic acclamation to her shores. With that envy was mingled, perhaps, some slight shade of an offended pride; but there was nothing little or paltry in the whole feeling; on the contrary, it was generous and just, and such as became the spirit of a bold, free, and ancient nation. It seemed to us, at first, as if our King had sailed away from us in forgetfulness or disparagement of our claims; and we thought within ourselves, why does he not come to his own palace at Holyrood, and shew himself on his throne there, in the Royal Halls of his Ancestors? But our good sense, for which it is said we are as a nation remarkable, soon corrected this impression; and we all felt that the time would come, and that soon, when we should have occasion to envy no nation on earth, and when King and people would see and be satisfied with each other. That time has come -it is past-and the event, while it has gloriously fulfilled all the hopes of his subjects, has not, we are proud to know, altogether disappointed the expectations of our King.

His Majesty's gracious visit to Ireland was prompted by many fine and noble feelings, but feelings that must VOL. XII.

WORDSWORTH.

have been, in some measure, melancholy and mournful. He went to behold a people distinguished by the wild generosity, and even by the wild grandeur of their character;—but a people whose history had long been one of violence and distraction, and whose loyalty, fervent and true, and yet mingled in their hearts with many bitter and rankling animosities. There had been deadly hate, even for conscience' sake, between thousands of those hearts which then felt suddenly and strangely united in one passion of devoted attachment to their King. Wounds that had long been bleeding were then for a while staunched, or they bled inwardly, while, in the recklessness of loyal rapture, Erin clasped to her green bosom the Monarch of the Isles. There was something disturbed in the physiognomy of the people, as there was, and long had been, and long will be, something disturbed in their souls. To many, their enthusiasm seemed exaggerated, outrageous, and unnatural. But their King knew better; and the fine feeling, which, by his whole demeanour day after day among them, he shewed that he possessed of their character and condition, proves that he understands wisely and well that humanity to which in all his glory he of necessity does himself belong, as
