THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. THE FIRST PART. Malchus, Gamaliel, Rabbins. Malchus. O this old wretched age, the neighbouring bounds Of our last breath! and you, unhappy Fates, Long life on us have you bestowed for this, Or for these uses?--That we should behold Our temples lewdly, cursedly, defiled, Our holy things profaned, our country slaved; The relics of our fane (which none might enter) Broken before me, and the sacred gold Rent from the posts, --whate'er the greedy will Of stern Gabinius could by rapine gain, 10 Or Antony's luxurious power exhaust. All's lost: and we have been a mocking stock (Which I abhor to hear, much more to speak) To Cleopatra's gluttonous desires. And lest we should not be in every part Disgraced and vilified, we now are brought Under a cruel king--the nephew's son Of half-Arabian Antipater. Judea serves an Idumean tyrant;. While an Arabian lord o'er Sion reigns, cv 20 God's people, and Jerusalem, --a man Profane and impious. Yet in this distress, Among so many wounds of raging chance, Some sparks of ancient honour did remain, A pattern of our country's discipline, Such as it is, which by our foes themselves our foes themselves is to be reverenc'd, the furious Victor, and no small number of his purpled Court, began to dignifie the Jewish lawes. We with this hope refresht, though well neere tyr'd with misery, had hardly taken heart to readvance our heads, when out alas, a hainous matter which we never fear'd, did suddenly arise a new Baptizer, whose Parentage is holy, who was bred among strange worships, but by Nation ours, by Stock a Levite given unto God, even from his infant cradle, being son of an High-Priest, and shortly to receive that dignity himself, unlesse he chuse rather to taste false.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John the Baptist: A Drama Translated From the Latin of George Buchanan George buchanan bequeathed a rich literary legacy to the world in his sacred dramas, Jephthes and Baptistes - the one on an Old Testament, the other on a New Testament theme, and studies respectively of loyalty to earthly and heavenly citizenship; but his pieces, though of pure gold, are debarred from the wide currency they merit, by the Latin super scription which he elected to stamp upon them. With regard to his Baptistes, although its form and language are those of the ancient classics, its spirit and sentiments are emphatically modem. The view which it more than hints at as to the limits of legitimate monarchic power, is proved by Buchanan's tract De Jure Regni Apud Scotos to be not merely incidental to the drama, but personally entertained by the poet. His promulgation of the principle of constitutional monarchy stamps him as, in the sphere of political thought, a man far in advance of his time.

Book excerpt: George Buchanan (1506-82) was the most distinguished Scottish humanist of the sixteenth century with an unparalleled contemporary reputation as a Latin poet, playwright, historian and political theorist. However, while his contemporary importance as the scourge of Mary Queen of Scots and advocate of popular rebellion has long been recognised, this volume represents the first attempt to explore the subsequent influence of his ideas and his contested reputation as a political ideologue and cultural icon. Featuring a wide-ranging selection of essays by an international cast of established and younger scholars, the volume explores Buchanan's legacy as an historian and political theorist in Britain and Europe in the two centuries following his death, with particular emphasis on the reception of his remarkably radical views on popular sovereignty and political assassination. Divided into four parts, the volume covers the immediate impact and reception of his writings in sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Britain; the wider Northern European context in which his thought was influential; the engagement with his political ideas in the course of the seventeenth-century British constitutional struggles; and the influence of his ideas as well as the changing nature of his reputation through the eighteenth century and beyond. The introduction to the volume not only reviews the material in the body of the collection, but also reflects on the use and abuse of Buchanan's ideas in the early modern period and the methodological issues of influence and reputation raised by the contributors. Such a reassessment of Buchanan and his legacy is long overdue and this volume will be welcomed by all scholars with an interest in the political and cultural history of early modern Britain and Europe.
