Footnotes

[561:2] Abraham Lincoln was very fond of repeating these lines.

[561:3] From Knox's "Songs of Israel," 1824.

I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls,

With vassals and serfs at my side.

Song.

The light of other days [561:4] is faded,

And all their glories past.

Song.

The heart bowed down by weight of woe

To weakest hope will cling.

Song.
