ΘΗ ΠΡΩΤΕΚΤΕΔ ΦΗΜΑΛΕ.

["For our part we do not believe in protected studies. Greek came into the Western world, poor and needy, three centuries ago. By her own unaided charms she has won her way. By those charms we believe that she will hold her own against all competitors until literature and civilisation are no more."—Times.]

Protected Greek! Protected Greek!

BALFOUR may doubt, the Times demur,

And chattering "correspondents" seek

Against the goddess strife to stir,

But while the Senate rules, you bet,

The Goths shan't smash the Grecians yet.
