"An Anthology of Australian Verse"


First printed in "Poems" (1886).
Clarke, "The Song of Tigilau": "Tigilau, the son of Tui Viti";
an attempt to paraphrase a legend of Samoa, is remarkable
as evidence of direct intercourse between Samoa and Fiji,
and as showing by the use of the term "Tui Viti" that a king once reigned
over ALL Fiji. The singularly poetic and rhythmical original
will be found in a paper contributed by Mr. Pritchard, F.A.S.I., etc.,
to the Anthropological Society of London." -- Author's Note.
Moloney, "Melbourne": First printed in `The Australasian'
over the signature "Australis".
Domett, "An Invitation": First printed in "Flotsam and Jetsam": reprinted,
with alterations, as Proem to "Ranolf and Amohia", Second Edition, 1883.
Domett, "A Maori Girl's Song": "A very free paraphrase of a song
in Sir George Grey's collection. `Ropa' is a declaration of love
by pinching the fingers." -- Author's Note.
Stephens, "Day" & "Night": Stanzas from "Convict Once"
[pp. 336-7, 297-9 respectively of "Poetical Works" (1902)].
