OR,
THE DAYS OF QUEEN ELIZABETH.
AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE.
BY
THE AUTHOR OF “THE KING’S SON.”
Frugal and wise, a Walsingham is thine;
A Drake, who made thee mistress of the sea,
And bore thy name in thunder round the world.
Then flamed thy spirit high; but who can speak
The numerous worthies of the maiden reign?
In Raleigh mark their every glory mix’d;
Raleigh, the scourge of Spain!
Thomson.
