THE DAY AND THE WRATH.
» Sir Owen Seaman, k.-dif-or of London > Punch, thus expresses himself under > the hea<Ting "Dies Irro: To the Ger- ' man Kaiser" ("Dies lrai" means "the • Day of Wrath") :— • You sinned our griefs with seeiuing- ', gentle eyes; > You moved among us cousinly entreated. Still hiding under that fair outward guise, \ A heart that cheated. And now that mask- is down, and ' forth you stand, Known for a King whoso word i* no great matter, \ A traitor proved, for every honest hand j To strike and shatter. '_ This -was tho "Day" foretold by yours and you ' In whispers here and there -with ! beery clamours — You and your rat-hole spies and blustering crew 5 - Of loud Potsdamers. And 10. there dawns another, swift 3 and stern, ', When on tne wheels of wrath, by [ Justice token, , Breaker of God's own Peace, you shall ! ill turn i Yourself be broken. I II !■ Ml 111 l
