This wild revolution betimes?'

But upwards through strata and fountains

Passed the conquering hero with heat,

Until from the sunniest mountains

He gazed on the world at his feet.

Then he shouted with yodling and singing,

'Hurrah! 'Twas courageously done,

Even we can be doing and bringing

What it only needs pluck to be won.'

[THE ICHTHYOSAURUS.]
