Has blurred the Liberal programme from the skies?

To-morrow rises its resistless flood

Round fleet and army, church and colonies.

Enough for me; with joy I see

The different doom our fates assign—

Be thine Despair and Gartered care;

To translate and to hew are mine.”

Thus spake the Bard; and, from the mountain’s brow,

Swinging his axe, he vanished in the snow.

ETONESIS. (The Rev. J. S. Vaughan.)
