with banner and with music with soldier and with
with nation weeping, and breaking on my rest7
Mighty seaman. this is he.
was great BY land as thou by sea.
Thine island loves thee wen: thy famous man.
The greatest sailor since our world began.
10 thee the greatest soldier comes;
was great by land IS thou BY sea:
His foes are thine; he kept free;
o give him welcome. this is he.
Worthy of our gorgeous rites.
And worthy 10 be laid Nv thee;
For this Is England's greatest SON.
He that gain'd hundred fights.
Nor ever lost an English gum
This is he that far away
Against the myriads Of Assaye
CIash'd with his fiery few and won;
And underneath another sun.
Round affrighted Lisbon drew
The treble works. the vast designs
OF his labour'd rampartIines,
Where he greatly stood at bay,
Whence he issued forth anew.
And ever greater and greater grew.
Beating from the wasted vines
Back TO France her banded sWarms
Back to France with countless blows.
TIN Ger the hills her eagles flew
F0lIOwd up in valley and glen
with blare OF bugle. cIamor Of men.
Roll Of cannon and clash Of iron.
And England pouring on her foes.
Such had such close.
Again the ravening eagle rose
In anger WheeId Europe.shad0Wing wings,
And barking for the thrones Of kings;
TIL one that sought but Duty's iron crown;
On that loud Sabbath shook the spoiIer down;
day Of onsets. OF despair
Their surging charges foamd themselves sway
Last the Prussian trumpet blew; e t4
Through the long tOrmented air
He ever flasn'd sudden jubant ray
And g down We swept and charged and overthrew.
What long enduring hearts could do
In that world earthquake, waterloo!
Mighty Seaman, tender and true.
And pure IS he from paint q craven guile
sayiOurs Of the sivercoated isle,
shaker Of the Baltic and the Nile
aught Of things that here befan
Touch spirit among things divine,
Il love of country move thee there at all.
Be glad. because his bones are laid by thine!
AND thro the centuries let peoples voice
In full acclaim,
peoples voice.
The proof and echo Of all human fame
a peoples voice, when they rejoice
At civic reveI and pomp and game,
AUeSs tneir great commanders claim
With honour, honour. honour, honour to him.
Eternal honour to his name.
THE HAPPY WARRIOR
BY WILLIAM WADsWoRTH
Who the Happy Warrior? Who is he
Whom man in arms should wish to be?
4 4 the generous spirit. who. when brought
Among the tests Of real life hath wrought
Upon the plan that pleased his childish thought
Whose high endeayors are an inward light
That make the path before him always bright;
Who, with natural instinct to discern
Mha. knowlsage nc can perform dligsnt to learn
But makes his moral being his prime care;
Whom doOmd 20 50 IN company with PAIN and fear
And blOOdshed, miserable train.
Turns his necessity to glorious gain;
In faith OF these doth exercise the power

Controls them and subdues transmutes bereaves
Of Their bad Influence. and their good receives;

Her feeling, renderd more compassionate

SO often that demands sacrifice:
More skilful, in selfknowledge even more pure
As tempted more; more able tO endure
As more exposed to suffering and distress:
Thence, also. more alive to tenderness
