Day.

And now thus leagu'd by an eternal bond,
What shall retard the Britons' bold designs,
Or who sustain their force; in Union knit,
Sufficient to withstand the pow'rs combined
Of all this globe? At this important act
The Mauritanian and Cathaian kings
Already tremble, and th' unbaptized Turk
Dreads war from utmost Thule; uncontroul'd
The British Navy through the Ocean vast
Shall wave her double cross, t' extremest climes.

Sterne.

See Lion-hearted Richard, with his force
Drawn from the north, to Jury's hallow'd plains!
Piously valiant, (like a torrent swell'd

With wintry tempests, that disdains all mounds,
Breaking a way impetuous, and involves

Within its sweep, trees, houses, men) he press'd
Amidst the thickest battle; and o'erthrew
Whate'er withstood his zealous rage; no pause,

No stay of slaughter, found his vigorous arm. -Philips.

JUBILEE. Edward III. celebrated the 50th anniversary of his birth by a glorious jubilee, when every public prisoner was released, the banished subject was restored to his country, and the French language, as a boon, was abolished in all legal proceedings and contracts, 1362.

The death of George Fox, the founder of a most respectable sect of Christians, termed “Quakers” from their just sense of the omnipotence of the Deity-that God whose scrutiny penetrates the cottage and the palace-the rewarder of virtue--in whose awful presence tremble the tyrant and villain-forger throughout the world, 1690.

Still strew thy path of life with flowers, and smooth each rugged furrow o'er.
