Scene X)’, The Bulletin, 8 December 1894. Subject The topic of the resource Alexander Iden, doggerel, Henry VI Part II, Jack Cade, John Bull, Kent, London, poetry, political commentary, rebellion, revolt, roast beef, verse, Victor J. Daley (1858-1905), William Shakespeare (c.1564-1616). Description An account of the resource Victor Daley was an Irishman who came to Australia as a young man. He wrote romantic verse and was referred to by Vivian Smith as, “one of the most attractive poets of the nineties in Australia” (Vivian Smith, ‘Poetry’, The Oxford History of Australian Literature, ed. by Leonie Kramer, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1981, p.319). He also wrote under the pen-name Creeve Roe (trans. ‘Red Branch’), which conjures the image of a “Celtic bard singing ancient songs” in an unmistakably Antipodean context (Louise D’Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, p.124). In this period poem, Daley praises the memory of Jack Cade, a Kentish rebel leader who died in 1450. The poem critiques Shakespeare’s treatment of Cade in Henry VI, Part II. Daley’s objective seems to be setting the record straight and praising Jack Cade for his courage. He also seeks to summon local resistance to social values that he thinks have no place in an Australian bush setting. Addressing the English Bard directly he states, “I think thy mediaeval / social views suit not this clime.” The denouement, which involves a fight between the well-nourished Kentish squire Alexander Iden and the near-starving disconsolate rebel Cade, produces imagery of John Bull, over-stuffed with English beef, taking-on those who are ill-prepared for resistance. It is a decidedly one-sided encounter, and the outcome – Cade’s death – is never seriously in doubt. The rationale for condemnation is that the likes of Alexander Iden, depicted “Gasconading in his garden,” frequently attract undeserved honours and knighthoods, while the impoverished people (Jack Cade among them) fare ignominiously. The poem closes after encouraging the downtrodden to take their lead from Cade, and concludes with a toast to the memory of his brave deeds.

The bells are known to have existed in the fourteenth century and were recast in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.

The bells are the only set of royal bells known to have left England. They were presented to the State of Western Australia in 1988 as a gift to mark the Australian bicentenary, and The Bell Tower was built to house them and six additional bells. The Bell Tower opened in 2000 and is a rare example of a modern Australian building housing medieval artefacts that are still in use.

Title A name given to the resource Gog and Magog, Royal Arcade, Melbourne Subject The topic of the resource arcade, Britain, Brutus, Corineus, gateway, Gauntâ€™s Clock, Geoffrey of Monmouth (d.1154/5), giants, Gog, Gogmagog, guardian, Guildhall, Historia Regum Britanniae, legend, London, Magog, medieval folklore, Melbourne, myth, mythology, porter, Royal Arcade, statues, time, Trojan army Description An account of the resource Close-up images of the statutes of Gog and Magog, who strike the time hourly on Gauntâ€™s Clock in Melbourneâ€™s Royal Arcade. According to the legend cited in the description under the clock, the mythological giants Gog and Magog were captured by Brutus and forced to serve as porters at the gateway of a palace on the site of the Guildhall in London. They are indeed guardians of the City of London, and wooden statutes of the figures were installed at the Guildhall in the early eighteenth century. These statues replaced large wicker models of the giants that had been paraded in the Lord Mayorâ€™s Procession since the time of Henry V (r.1413-1422), but that were destroyed in the Great Fire. The description reads: â€œThese two 7-feet giants have been striking the time on Gaunt's clock since 1892. They were carved from clear pine and modelled on the figures erected in Guildhall, London, in 1708 to symbolise the conflict between the ancient Britons and the Trojan invaders. Mythology tells of the giants Gog and Magog (also known as Corineus and Gogmagog) having been captured in battle by the Trojans and made to serve as porters at the gateway of an ancient palace on a site later occupied by the Guildhall. It is traditional for Gog to stand to the north and Magog to the south.â€ However, although the description lists Corineus was an alternate name for Gog, Geoffrey of Monmouth describes Corineus as an ally of Brutus in his twelfth-century Historia Regum Britanniae, and credits him with slaying the giant GoÃ«magot (by throwing him into the sea).
