SIR ROBERT PEEL.
S•ime beautiful "memorial lines" on this illustrious
and lamented statesman have just appeared from the
hand of Joseph Arnould, Esq., of the Middle Temple.,
Barrister. at-Law, the verses combining
of pi thos and scholar- like elegance of composition witl
the fullest appreciation of the virtues, the genius, anu.
the patriotism of the great man recently thedepar
But that this poetical tribute to the memory of ,
renowned senator is naturally somewhat restrictea
manly deep
in its length, we should gladly transfer to niturs
columns one or two illustrative passages.
it is, however, we are solicitous not to in:
present
terfere with the completeness of its
form of publication—a handsome octavo, issued In
the manner of a political pamphlet. Neverthelesse,
we may be permitted, without detriment to
the
symmetry of the original, to direct attention,
utmost possible brevity, to some of the many felicy
tous thoughts and expressions scattered through the
,
verses of Mr. Arnould. His reference to the intel-
lectual toil to which Sir Robert dedicated his ener-
gies is admirable : with
" The fixed laboriousness that calmly wrought
Truth from the mines of scientific; thought—
'rho tica,ter-skill which, when that truth WAS Yl,o°,
Made other minds the mirror of his °ion."
Again, the following definition of his noble capani-
ties as an orator, is remarkable for its virile
rousness, and yet also at the same time for the el-
quisite and subtle delicacy of the panegyric--

66 The msnly march of vigorous eloquence,
The sober style of poised and weighty sense,
Clear to convince, and potent to persuade,
Wrought with high cut, yet lice from art's parade:: ,
Perhaps the happiest portion of these 44 „lemons
liuei," is that where Mr. Arnould refers to the
great achievements by which Sir Robert imprinte
his name indelibly in the annals of his coo
ntrt
Once when he abolished the taxes preventing the ~
lee
importation of corn, and—
.' Once when he swept away the bigot laws
That outraged Freedom in Religion's cause,
That from men's rituals made their rights pro
And risked a Realm to persecute a creed."
We reluctantly abstain from any further quotation
from verrtes, which, to employ a common but aPPrt;
priate phrase, do honour at once to the, bead an tjv
heart of the author; and we congratulate him vitae':
on having struck a chord which will vibrate to the in'
nermost heart of England.
