Traveller on foreign ground, whoe'er thou art, br Tell the great tidings! They went down that day br A Legion, and came back from victory br Two hundred men and Glory! On the mart br Is this 'to losc?' Yet, Stranger, thou shalt say br These were our common Britons. 'Tis our way br In England. Aye, ye heavens! I saw them part br The Death-Sea as an English dog leaps o'er br The rocks into the ocean. He goes in br Thick as a lion, and he comes out thin br As a starved wolf; but lo! he brings to shore br A life above his own, which when his heart br Bursts with that final effort, from the stones br Springs up and builds a temple o'er his bones.
