Tennyson. son Of the poet, at a patri-
otic meeting last night quoted the fol-
lowing hitherto unpublished poem of
his father:

Who says that wars are over.
What bloody portent flashes there
Across the Straits of Dover?
Are you ready. Britons all
To answer yes with thunder?
Arms, Arms, Arms,
Nine hundred thousand slaves in Arms.
They seek to bring us under
But England lives and still will live
For we'u crush the despot yonder-
Are you ready, Britons. all,
To answer foes with thunder?
