CONQUEST.
Never in vain—not it the last red dawning Find your troops routed, all your hopes undone; And that -which you had prized and fairly won, About the heels of some gilt lackey fawning. Nor, if the cygnet cities you have taken Yield up their lustre to a barbarous fuc. Need peace of yours be even a moment shaken, Need honours you have' won be prized so low. For, being man, you in your heart must carr.v Conquest and empire: and these twain are great. What if the fruits of pcace a little tarry. No hand upon the carfh can mar your i state. —RQUIN H I'D 13. I Auckland.
