About 300 OF the most prominent of her
citizens met at Ellisville one day and

many of them were court-martialed and
shot. Whenever the opportunity was af-

Silent she gazed as one who doth not

Her soul had spoke.
With this dread summons, since it's

But in my peoples wisdom will share;
And in their valor play a helpful part
Tending them still in all they do not dare

Never be broken. long as I shall reign.
The solemn covenant twixt them and
me,
To keep this kingdom, moated by the

Loyal, yet free.
The poet laureate refers to her ':nrincely
helpmate, scorner OF wrong and lover of
the right and continues in the 18th
stanza of the poem:
So when the storm of wrath arose that

Scared rulers from their realms. her

In liberty and trust. calm shelter gave
To kings dismayed.
The poem then tells of her sorrow at
her husbands death. but how Il am

the oath stanza as follows:
Then to winds, yet wider was unfurled
The flag that tyrants never could en-

And all the wave

And even Englands greatness gain a |
