All the brave actions of war and peace,
All help given to relatives, strangers, the poor, old, sorrowful,

All self-denial that stood steady and aloof on wrecks, and saw
others fill the seats of the boats,
All offering of substance or life for the good old cause, or for a

All pains of enthusiasts scoff'd at by their neighbors,
All the limitless sweet love and precious suffering of mothers,
All honest men baffled in strifes recorded or unrecorded,

All the good of the dozens of ancient nations unknown to us by name,

All that was ever manfully begun, whether it succeeded or no,

Now it is seen, if there be likelihood,
That king who reigns in so remote a land,
Followed
by such a mighty multitude,
Should set his foot on warlike Africk's strand;
Traversing sands, to which in evil hour
Cambyses trusted his ill-omened power.

_Autumn_
The thistle-down's flying, though the winds are all still,
On the green grass now lying, now mounting the hill,
The spring from the fountain now boils like a pot;
Through stones past the
counting
it bubbles red hot.

I heard the perfect Italian tenor, singing at the opera--I heard the

The fingers of this hand

And ever since, it grew more clean and white.

mournful
Bradamant, nor dares
Meanwhile her lady-mother's speech gainsay;
To whom such reverence, and respect, she bears,
She thinks no choice is left but to obey.

Of

orders me my present duty,
To face again a problem strongly solved
In life gone by, but now again proposed
Out of due time for fresh deliberation.
