The frown assumed gives now and then a place
To soft indulgent glances, lessening the pain,
And hints of spring and pardon light her face.
A CHANGE OF AMBITION
Horatius at the bridge, and he
Who fought at old Thermopylæ;
Great Samson and his potent bone
By which the Philistines were slone;
Small David with his wondrous aim
That did for him of giant frame;
