May clearly read, upon its heaven-writ scroll,

That high and firm resolve, which nerved the Roman soul.

Mrs. Sigourney.

55. On her forehead sitteth pride,

Crown'd with scorn, and falcon-eyed;

But she beneath, methinks, doth twine

Silken smiles, that seem divine.

Can such smiles be false and cold?

Can she, will she wed for gold?

Barry Cornwall.
