Who unrewarded gave
To her his life-bought gift of song and fame.

The land he trod
Hath now become a place of pilgrimage;
Where dearer are the daisies of the sod
That could his song engage.
The hoary hawthorn, wreath'd
Above the bank on which his limbs he flung
While some sweet plaint he bleath'd ;
The streams he wander'd near;
The maidens whoin he lov'd ; the songs he sung ;
All, all are dear I

The arch blue eyes,—
Arch but for love's disguise,—
Of Scotland's daughters, soften at his strain ;
Her hardy sons, sent forth across the main
To drive the ploughshare through earth's virgin soils,

Lighten with it their toils;
And sister-lands have leaned to love the tongue
In which such songs are sung.

For doth not Song,
To the whole world belong I
Is it not given wherever tears can fall,
Wherever hearts can melt, or blushes glow,
Or mirth and sadness mingle as they flow,
A heritage to all ?

Time, of course, prevented us from remaining
until the commencement of the second part, but of
the execution of those pieces which took place
while we wen present, we can speak in the highest
clay'sy's
terms of praise. The clay's
proceedings will conclude with " God
save 'the Queen," the following verse having been
written for the occasion by Mr. Thomas Oliphant,
'nonorary secretary of the Madrigal Society, with
special reference to the Princess Frederick William
of Prussia.

Long live her daughter fair,
Lov'd wife of Prussia's heir,

And future Queen.
On this their wedding day
Sing we a joyful lay ;
God bless them both, we pray,
God save the Queen !
