The men of England the great and high
the rich and proud-dre forced to feel and to act
for Ireland: the reproach of the world would
weigh them down, and perhaps a terrific revolu-
ton sweep the British Isles if they did not.
Let us believe, too, that Englishmen can be
prompted by hoer motives, such as are now
multitudes of our own people, to act
in behalf of the millions who are ready to per-
ish for the lack of bread.
