Their swords are rust. their splendor past.
The play is done told Is the story

Scattered thc hosts. and gone their glory
Their trumpets stiled, their banners dust
She was the Queen that laughed Al danger

To bind the heart-strIngs OF the stranger.

Bright was the throne her feet ascended-
Her soul was fair. and fair her face;

measures to enable the Board of Assessors TO
