Vorbericht.

E. iſt unſtreitig, daß die vollkommene Erler⸗
nung und Kenntniß einer Sprache nur durch
das Leſen der Dichter befoͤrdert und erreicht wird.
Der gedraͤngte, lebhafte und oft ſchwuͤlſtige Styl,
die ausgeſuchten und dichteriſchen Ausdruͤcke, die
ſchwerere und verwickelte Konſtruction der Phraſen

tragen ungemein viel bey, eine Sprache in ihrem

ganzen Umfange zu erlernen; ſo wie das Sylben⸗
maaß der Verſe, ihr Wohlklang, und die noͤthige
Beobachtung der Proſodie den wahren Ton der
Worte zeigen, und die Ausſprache erleichtern.
Ueber⸗

VI Vorberichfk.
Ueberzeugt hievon durch Erfahrung, habe ich

allezeit jungen Leuten, nachdem ſie ſich eine Zeit⸗

lang in proſaiſchen Schriftſtellern geuͤbt hatten,

auch die Dichter vorgelegt.

Unter den engliſchen Dichtern iſt vorzuͤglich

Thomſon, deſſen Jahrszeiten ſo ſchoͤn, ſo erhaben,
und ſo lehrreich ſind, den ich meinen Schuͤlern em⸗
pfehle, und den ich hier ganz erleichtert herausgebe.
Ehe ich aber den Plan, den ich beobachtet, genauer
beſtimme, halte ich es fuͤr nothwendig, die Haupt⸗
zuͤge aus Thomſons Leben zu ſammeln, und ſeinen
poetiſchen Character den Leſern vorzuſtellen.
Jacob Thomſon ward den 22ten Sept.
1700. zu Ednam in der Grafſchaft Roxburgh in
Schottland gebohren. Sein Vater, ein ſchottlaͤn⸗
diſcher Geiſtlicher, ließ ſich ſeine Erziehung angelegen
ſeyn, und ſchickte ihn zeitig in die Schule zu Jed⸗
burgh. Rickerton, ein Prediger in der Nachbar⸗
ſchaft und Freund des Vaters, bemerkte, daß hinter

dete den Vater, ſeinen Sohn ſtudiren zu laſſen.
Nach der gewoͤhnlichen Schulkatriere, ſchickte ihn
ſein Vater nach Edinburg auf die Univerſitaͤt, um
ſich der Theologie zu widmen; wo er aber anfaͤng⸗
lich ſeiner angebohrnen Schuͤchternheit und Zuruͤck⸗
haltung wegen bey ſeinen Mitſtudierenden nicht ſehr
beliebt war.
Der gelehrte Hamilton, welcher damals Pro⸗
feſſor des Collegiums war, und das verborgene Ge⸗
nie unſers jungen Thomſon in verſchiedenen kleinen
Aufſaͤtzen entdeckte, ließ ihn oͤfters zu ſich kommen,

und zog ihn bald allen ſeinen andern Lehrlingen vor.

Beſonders zeichnete er ſich in einer Rede aus, die

er bey einer Stiftbsfeyer, wie gewoͤhnlich uͤber die
Macht Gottes hielt, und welche ſo ruͤhrend
war, daß ihm die ganze Verſammlung voll Er⸗

ſtaunen entgegen gieng, und Gluͤck wuͤnſchte.

leicht kuͤmmerlich gegangen ſeyn, wenn ſich nicht
Lord Lyttleton ſeiner angenommen, und ihn dem
Prinzen von Wallis empfohlen haͤtte, welcher dem

Dichter ein Jahrgehalt ausſetzte, und ihn alſo vor

Armuth ſicherte.

Er verfertigte nachher noch andere Gedichte,
die ale gut aufgenommen wurden; unter andern
gab er 730 ſein Trauerſpiel Sophonisbe und
einige Jahre hernach ſeinen Agamemnon her⸗
aus; 1739 erſchien ein anderes Trauerſpiel Ed⸗
ward und Eleonora, welches aber vermoͤge der
damals erſchienenen Schaubuͤhnen⸗Acte nicht durf⸗
te aufgfuͤhrt werden, und 1745 ſein Trauerſpiel
Tarkred und Sigismund. Die Burg
der Traͤgheit (the castle of indolence),
ein alle griſches Gedicht, war das letzte Stuͤck, ſo
er heraugab; ſein Kariolan war noch nicht voll⸗
endet, al er ſtarb, und zwar durch folgenden trau⸗
rigen Zufal.

X Vorbericht.

Er pflegte gemeiniglich, wenn das Wetter zur

Waſſerfahrt nicht guͤnſtig war, den Weg von Lon⸗
don nach Richmond, wo er ſich aufhielt, zu Fuß
zin machen, und ſich unterwegs an einen Freund zu
ſchließen, mit dem er ſich unterhalten, niederſetzen
und erfriſchen konnte. Da er einſt an enem
Sommerabende den Weg allein machte, und ſich
durch ſtarkes Gehen erhitzt hatte, nahm er unvor⸗
ſichtigerweiſe bey Hammerſchmith ein Boot, um
nach Lew zu fahren, und erkaͤltete ſich. Den fol⸗

genden Tag wurde er von einem heftigen Fieber

uͤberfallen, welches bey ſeinem ſtarken Koͤrpe; nicht

wenig Beſorgniß erregte, welches aber doo durch
ſchleunige Mittel gluͤcklich gehoben wurde; ellein

da er ſich durch das ſchoͤne Wetter bald wiede ver⸗
leiten ließ, ſich dem Abendthaue auszuſetzen, o kehr⸗
te das Fieber mit Heftigkeit zuruͤck, mnd von
Symptomen begleitet, die keine Hoffnung des Auf⸗
kommens uͤbrig ließen. Seine Freunde ud Aerzte
kamen

kamen nur, die letzten Kaͤmpfe ihres theuren Freun⸗

des mit anzuſehen; er ſtarb den 17. Auguſt 1748,
und ſein Koͤrper wurde in der Kirche zu Richmond
beygeſetzet. 8

Thomſon war unverheirathet. Sein Charac⸗
ter war Gutherzigkeit, Hang zum geſelligen Leben,
Liebe fuͤr Gott, die Natur und den Menſchen,
Treue gegen ſeine Freunde, Dankbarkeit gegen ſeine
Wohlthaͤter, Munterkeit und Witz im vertrauten
Umgange und Zuruͤckhaltung in groͤßern Zirkeln; er
war thaͤtig fuͤr ſeine Anverwandten, und mitleidig
gegen die Armen.

Unter ſeinen Werken werden die Jahrszeiten
am meiſten geleſen und geſchaͤtzet. Jedes Alter,
jeder Stand findet Nahrung und Vergnuͤgen in
einem Werke, welches die Natur in ihrer ganzen
Schoͤnheit vorſtellt, und zu hoͤhern Gedanken er⸗
hebt. Seine Gedichte haben eine Waͤhrheit und
Genauig⸗

XII Vorberichſt.

Genauigkeit, die man vergebens bey andern Dich⸗
tern ſucht.

Er wird zwar beſchuldigt, daß er oft zu wieder⸗

holend, zu ſchwuͤlſtig, oft zu dunkel iſt, auch man⸗
chen Gegenſtand ganz erſchoͤpft, und alſo den Leſer
ermuͤdet; auch ſind ſeine Schilderungen manchem,
der die engliſche Landwirthſchaft nicht kennet, unver⸗
ſtaͤndlich, z. B. die Ernte im Herbſte, und andere.
Dem ohngeachtet ſind ſeine Jahrszeiten eines der
ſchoͤnſten Gedichte, die je erſchienen.

Thomſon war ein großer Naturkenner und ge⸗

ſchickter Mahler laͤndlicher Scenen; er kannte voll⸗

kommen das Menſchenherz und ſeine Triebe, die er
wechſelsweiſe zu erwecken wuſte. Die Einbildungs⸗
kraft des Dichters iſt ſo lebhaft, die Sprache ſo
rein und edel, daß er die Dichtkunſt mit einer Men⸗
ge neuer und origineller Bilder bereicherte; daher
es oft ſchwer iſt, manchen Stellen im Ueberſetzen
den kernichten und kraftvollen Sinn wiederzugeben.

Vortheil aus einem Buche, welches etwas Wirk⸗
liches und Erhabenes zum Gegenſtande hat, ſchoͤ⸗
pfen wuͤrden; allein ich mußte allezeit mit Ver⸗
druß ſehen, daß, nachdem ſie einige Seiten durchle⸗

weglegten; es war ihnen zu ſchwer, der Sinn zu
dunkel, und die Saͤtze zu verſchlungen; wenn ſie
auch die ſchoͤnen Ueberſetzungen der Herren Schu⸗

bart und Harries vor ſich hatten, konnten ſie

doch damit nicht zu Stande kommen, wenn ſie

einzelne Stellen erklaͤren ſollten.
Jungen Leuten und Freunden der engli ſchen

ich nach vorausgeſetztem Texte des Dichters die

geſucht. .

welche manches unverſtaͤndlich bleiben wuͤrde, nebſt

verbluͤmten Sinne, der Theil fuͤr das Ganze, die
Urſach fuͤr die Wirkung ꝛc. gebraucht werden, die
Woͤrterbuͤcher Lernenden oft die Wahl erſchweren.

hoͤren; das erſte Wort iſt gemeiniglich das anpaſ⸗

benutzt; wo manche Stellen zweydeutig ſind, und

ſcheinlichſte und allgemein angenommene Auslegung
angegeben.
Ich wiederhole nochmals, daß ich dieſes Werk
nur fuͤr Lernende und nicht fuͤr Gelehrte geſchrie⸗

*) Unter den ſechs Koͤnigen dieſes Namens ſind Edward 1 und

III die merkwuͤrdigtten. Edward I wa⸗ ein gelehrter Fuͤrſt,
er kannte gruͤndlich die Geſetze, Vortheile, und Verfaſſung
ſeines Reiches; er machte auch große Veraͤnderungen in den
Geſetzen, und ward deßwegen der engliſche Juſtinian genannt,
er beſiegte die Einwohner von Wallis, und nannte zuerſt ſeinen

Sohn Prinz von Walls; er ſtarb 1309 nach einer 35jährigen

Regierung.
Edward III beſtieg den Thron 1327; er war einer der
beſten und kluͤgſten Koͤnige, die je den engliſchen Thron beſtie⸗
gen haben. Er berief Kuͤnſtler und Handwerker nach England,
erlaubte ihnen, ſich anſaͤſſig zu machen, und gab ihnen ver⸗
ſchiedene Rechte. Nach dem Tode Karls des ſchoͤnen,
Koͤnigs von Frankreich, der keine Erben hinterließ, machte er
Anſpruͤche auf die Krone von Frankreich; ſie wurden aber ver⸗
worfen; dargus entſtand der langwierige den Franzoſen ſo
nachtheilige Krieg, in welchem die Englaͤnder in Frankreich
den Meiſter ſpielten. Er ſtifftete den Orden des blauen Ho⸗
ſenbandes 1340, und ſtarb 1372.

+) Es waren acht Koͤnige dieſes Namens in England, worun⸗

ter der II. IV. VII und VIII die merkwuͤrdigſten ſind:
Heinrich II mit dem Zunamen Plantagenet kam 1154 zur
Regierung; er gab ſchon in ſeinem r16ten Jahre Proben ſeiner
Geſchicklichkeit und Tapferkeit; er bewilligte vielen Staͤdten
und Doͤrfern gewiſſe Rechte, ſchaffte viele Mißbraͤuche ab,
und legte dadurch den Grund zu Englands Freyheit; da er
aber den roͤmiſchen Einfluß uͤber England hemmen wollte,
fand er einen großen Gegner an Thomas Becket, Biſchoff von
Kanterbury; er ward in Kirchenbann gethan, und mußte
fliehen. Thomas wurde nachher von einigen Edelleuten am
Altar ermordet, und Heinrich als vermeynter Anſtifter mußte
ſich beym Grabe des ermordeten Biſchofs geiſſeln laſſen. Unter
ſeiner Regierung wurde Irrland der engliſchen Krone ein⸗

verleibt.

Argumen t.

The subject proposed. Addrefs to Mr. Onslow. A prospect
of the Kelds ready for harvest. Refleetions in praise of iudustry
Traised by that vievy. Beaping. A tale relative to it. A har-
vest storm. Shooting and hunting, their barbaritvy. A hunters
feast. A view of an Orchard. Wall-fruit. A vineyard. A
description of fogs, frequent in the latter part of Autumn:
Wwhence a digression, enquiring into the rise of fountains and
rivers. Birds of season considered, that now shift their habi-
tation. The prodigious number of them that cover the northeri
and wWestern isles of Scotland. Hence a view 0f that country.
A prospect of the discoloured fading woods. Akfter a gentle
dusky day, moonlight. Autumnal meteors. Morning: to
which succeeds a calm pure sun-shiny day, such as tisually
shuts up the season. The harvest being gathered in, the coun⸗-
try dissolves in joy. The Whole concludes with a panegyric on

àa philosophical country life.

And, often falling, climbs against the blast. 180.
Low waves the rooted forest, vex'd, and sheds
What of its tarnish'd honours yet remain;
Dash'd down, and scattered, by the tearing

Assiduous fury, its gigantic limbs.,
Thus struggling thro' the dissipated grove, 185.

And on the cottage thatch'd, or lordly roof,

V. 180. falls often, and climbs against the Blast. The rooted Fo-=
is vex'd, and sheds what yet remains of its tar-

scatter'd by the continuous Fury of the tearing Winds. Thus
the whirling Tempest struggles through the dissipated Groye,
raves along the Plain, ſastens on the thatched Cottage, or the
jordly Roof, and shakes them to the solid Base. The frigh-
ten'd Sleep flies, and the savage Blast, for Entrance eager,
howils round the rocking Dome. Then, as they say, you may
