sind Dichtungen aus dem Nachlasse des Andreas Gryphius, welche sein Sohn Christian den gesammelten Werken seines Vaters anschlofs (zusammen mit dem oben genannten V. 3. Buch der Sonette 1698). Die „Begräbnisgedichte" (denen auch das Gedicht In einer tödlichen Krankheit“ zugezählt ist) sind (s. Palm) teils aus Freundschaft und Hochachtung freiwillig dargebrachte, teils für bare Belohnung gedichtete sogen. Parentationen voll gelehrter und wunderlicher Beziehungen didaktischen Charakters. Ebenso die Hochzeitsgedichte". Der letzte Teil, die Vermischten Gedichte", enthält Dichtungen an seinen Bruder Paul, auf den Untergang der Stadt Freistadt, die zwei Strafgedichte, Kapitän Schwermer und noch einiges andere. Wir stimmen H. Palm völlig bei, wenn er bemerkt, der Verfasser habe diese Gedichte mit richtigem Gefühle von seinen übrigen Werken ausgeschlossen. Litterarisch-ästhetischen Wert haben sie nicht. In litterarhistorischer Beziehung (in betreff der Nachrichten von dem Jugendleben des Dichters s. H. Palm) mögen sie nicht unwichtig sein. Wir wären nun am Ende unserer Arbeit angelangt und hoffen, dass es uns gelungen ist, zu zeigen, dass Andr. Gryphius auch als Lyriker Unvergängliches und Dauerndes geschaffen, wenn auch bisweilen die von Zeit und Umständen gezeugten Fehler und Mängel uns den Genufs seiner Werke etwas beeinträchtigen und schmälern. Wo viel Licht ist, ist viel Schatten, und eine Flamme, von schweren Windstöfsen hin und her gejagt, wird grofse und dichte Schatten werfen, desto freudiger aber begrüfsen wir dann auch immer wieder ihr siegreiches Aufblitzen.
