"VIVE LA RÉPUBLIQUE!"
ENGLAND TO FRANCE.—June, 1894.
Aye! Long live the Republic! 'Tis the cry
Wrung from us even while the shadow of death
Sudden projected, makes us catch our breath
In a sharp agony of sympathy.
Her servants fall, but she—she doth not die;
She strideth forward, firm of foot as Fate,
In calm invincibility elate;
