That we see nothing in them after all!


1. Lord Howe's victory, 1794.

The French, no doubt, had made a vow

To conquer—but they knew not How(e).

21. Queen Victoria proclaimed. The longest day.

The Queen proclaimed upon the longest day!

May this coincidence be not in vain;

But prove prophetic of her lengthen'd sway,

And to the longest day prolong her reign.
