# Saint Peter

Now, I think there is a likeness 'Twixt St Peter's life and mine For he did a lot of trampin' Long ago in Palestine. He was "union" when the workers First began to organise, And I'm glad that old St Peter Keeps the gate of Paradise.
When the ancient agitator And his brothers carried swags, I've no doubt he very often Tramped with empty tucker-bags; And I'm glad he's Heaven's picket, For I hate explainin' things, And he'll think a union ticket Just as good as Whitely King's.
He denied the Saviour's union, Which was weak of him, no doubt; But perhaps his feet was blistered And his boots had given out. And the bitter storm was rushin' On the bark and on the slabs, And a cheerful fire was blazin', And the hut was full of "scabs".
When I reach the great head-station – Which is somewhere "off the track" –
I won't want to talk with angels Who have never been out back ; They might bother me with offers Of a banjo – meanin' well – And a pair of wings to fly with, When I only want a spell.
I'll just ask for old St Peter, And I think, when he appears, I will only have to tell him That I carried swag for years. "I've been on the track," I'll tell him, "an' I done the best I could," And he'll understand me better Than the other angels would.
He won't try to get a chorus Out of lungs that's worn to rags, Or to graft the wings on shoulders That is stiff with humpin' swags. But I'll rest about the station Where the work-bell never rings, Till they blow the final trumpet And the Great Judge sees to things.

# Saint Valentine's Day

Published as the first part of The Unknown Eros
Well dost thou, Love, thy solemn Feast to hold In vestal February; Not rather choosing out some rosy day From the rich coronet of the coming May, When all things meet to marry!  O, quick, praevernal Power That signall'st punctual through the sleepy mould The Snowdrop's time to flower, Fair as the rash oath of virginity Which is first-love's first cry; O, Baby Spring, That flutter'st sudden 'neath the breast of Earth A month before the birth; Whence is the peaceful poignancy, The joy contrite, Sadder than sorrow, sweeter than delight, That burthens now the breath of everything, Though each one sighs as if to each alone The cherish'd pang were known? At dusk of dawn, on his dark spray apart, With it the Blackbird breaks the young Day's heart; In evening's hush About it talks the heavenly-minded Thrush; The hill with like remorse Smiles to the Sun's smile in his westering course; The fisher's drooping skiff In yonder sheltering bay; The choughs that call about the shining cliff; The children, noisy in the setting ray; Own the sweet season, each thing as it may; Thoughts of strange kindness and forgotten peace In me increase; And tears arise Within my happy, happy Mistress' eyes, And, lo, her lips, averted from my kiss, Ask from Love's bounty, ah, much more than bliss!  Is't the sequester'd and exceeding sweet Of dear Desire electing his defeat? Is't the waked Earth now to yon purpling cope Uttering first-love's first cry, Vainly renouncing, with a Seraph's sigh, Love's natural hope? Fair-meaning Earth, foredoom'd to perjury! Behold, all-amorous May, With roses heap'd upon her laughing brows, Avoids thee of thy vows! Were it for thee, with her warm bosom near, To abide the sharpness of the Seraph's sphere? Forget thy foolish words; Go to her summons gay, Thy heart with dead, wing'd Innocencies fill'd, Ev'n as a nest with birds After the old ones by the hawk are kill'd.  Well dost thou, Love, to celebrate The noon of thy soft ecstasy, Or e'er it be too late, Or e'er the Snowdrop die!

SAINT CECILIA.
BY ATTIE O'BRIEN
What means this high and more than mortal strain?
'Tis St. Cecilia and her wondrous lyre,
And from its strings with soft, celestial fire
Comes melody that thrills the soul like pain.
And love divine is every hymn's refrain;
 For the most perfect harp of her great heart
 Vibrates to holy impulses that part
Her lips in songs that loftiest heights attain.
Far in the star-bright heavens cherubim
 Lean o'er the golden gates of paradise,
With large, love-lighted eyes, when from the dim,
 Low land the strains so passing sweet arise,
Smiling to think in human hearts should be
The flame which feeds their burning harmony.

This officer was born July 19, 1786; made a lieutenant Feb. 16, 1805; and promoted to the rank of commander Sept. 25, 1806.
In 1808 Captain Dawson was appointed, by Sir Edward Pellew, to act as governor of the naval hospital at Madras; and we subsequently find him commanding the Parthian brig, on the North Sea station. He is handsomely spoken of in the public despatches announcing the evacuation of Walcheren, in Dec. 1809, on which occasion, one division of the gun-boats ordered to cover the retreat of the rear-guard was entrusted to his charge by Commodore, now Sir Edward W. C. R. Owen. The Parthian was afterwards employed in blockading the German rivers.

Layout 2
LEWIS DAVIES, Esq. [Captain of 1827.]
A Companion of the Most Honorable Military Order of the Bath; Knight of the Royal French Order of St. Louis; and Knight (2d class) of the Imperial Russian Order of St. Anne.
This officer is a brother of the late LieutenantColonel Davies, (known throughout all India by the appellation of “Tiger Davies” from his frequent daring encounters with that ferocious animal,) who was assassinated in May 1827) at Mominabad, by a party of the Nizam’s third regiment of native horse, while endeavouring to quell by remonstrance a spirit of insubordination which some of that corps had manifested.
Mr. Lewis Davies passed his examination in May 1808, obtained the rank of lieutenant in Sept. following; and was promoted from the Seringapatam frigate. Captain Charles Sotheby, to the command of the Rose sloop, on the Mediterranean station, Jan. 26th, 1826.
The Rose was attached to the combined force under Sir Edward Codrington, and sustained a loss of three men killed and fifteen officers and men wounded, at the battle of Navarin, Oct. 20th, 1827. On the second day after that memorable event, we find Mons. De Rigny writing to the British Vice-Admiral as follows:–
“Sir,– I hasten to do myself the honor to inform your Excellency, from a detailed report made by Captain Hugon, of the Armide, that the excellent manoeuvre of Captain Davies, when the Rose came and resolutely cast her anchor within pistol-shot of two Turkish corvettes, relieved the Armide in a few minutes from her unfavorable position; and it is my duty, and at the same time a great pleasure to me, to assure your Excellency, that on this occasion Captain Davies did every thing that could be expected from a brave and experienced officer. I am, with the highest consideration, your very faithful servant,
(Signed)“H. De Rigny, Rear-Admiral.”
H.M.S. Rose, Malta, Nov. 29th, 1827.
“Dear Sir,– Your brother’s loss is deplored by all who knew him, for his kindness of heart and evenness of temper; but he was chiefly admired for his cool self-possession in danger; he was often under fire from pirates, when in command of the Rose’s boats, and was always successful; but it was at the battle of Navarin that he pre-eminently distinguished himself, in command of the boats, by towing a fire-vessel clear of u French line-of-battle ship, under a dreadful fire of grape, which must have insured his promotion had he survived. Yours,
(Signed)“L. Davies.”
“To Captain Edmund Lyons, R.N.”
Captain Davies subsequently commanded the Ariadne 28, which ship he brought home from the Mediterranean, and paid off at Plymouth, in May 1828.
