Other Romans shall arise,

Heedless of a soldier's name;
Sounds, not arms, shall win the prize,
Harmony the path to fame.

Then the progeny that springs
From the forests of our land,
Armed with thunder, clad with wings,
Shall a wider world command.

Regions Cæsar never knew,
Thy posterity shall sway,
Where his eagles never flew,
None invincible as they."

Such the bard's prophetic words,
Pregnant with celestial fire,
Bending as he swept the chords
Of his sweet but awful lyre.

She with all a monarch's pride,
Felt them in her bosom glow;
Rushed to battle, fought and died—
Dying, hurled them at the foe.

"Ruffians! pitiless as proud,

Heaven awards the vengeance due;

Empire is on us bestowed,

Shame and ruin wait for you!"

Cowper.

FREEDOM IN THE MIND.

TONE walls do not a prison make,

Nor iron bars a cage ;

Minds innocent and quiet take

That for a hermitage.

If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone, that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty.

Lovelace.

ΤΗ

ENGLAND.

HIS royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise;

This fortress, built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the land of war;
This happy breed of men, this little world;
This precious stone set in a silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat`defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands-
This blessed spot, this earth, this realm, this
England.

Shakspeare.
