The proud, exulting foe lay hushed in stony death.
O mother country ! home of all the arts, Seat of all wisdom, learning, justice, grace, A bright example your career imparts The trans- Atlantic o£f-shoot of your race; For when the triiunphs of your arms we trace Prom proud Benares to Moultan, we inay know How Christian nations can despoil, deface The fairest cities of a Heathen foe.
If costly gems and gold reward them as they go J 78 Digitized by 74 A RETROSPECT OF 1849 Sweet Lady — thou that ...wear'st the coronet Of Enghind's sovereignty — ^we call thy name In kindness: let no pillaged pearls be set Among thy jewels; let thy gentle fame Be all unmixed with memories of shame; Lift up the Irish people: make it known A Queen can answer Nature^a laet acdaim^ And the bright emerald on thy brow that shone, Shall flash as never flashed the Ko-hi-noor's rich stone.
But in the hurried retrospective glance Which we would take of the departing year, How shall we blush for the Republic, France, That she among the spoilers should appear?
