DIES IRÆ
Sir Owen Seaman, the editor of Punch thus expresses himself nnder the heading "Dies Iree: To tho German Kaiser":—
You shared our griefs with seeminggentle eyes; ' You moved among us cousinly en* treated, Still hiding ander that fair outward guise, # A heart that eheated.
And now that mask is down, and forth
you stand, Known for a King whose weri 13 no great matter, A traitor proved, for every honest hand . To strike and shatter.
This was the''Day" foretold bjr yenrs and you
In whispers here and there with beery clamoursYon and your rat-hole spies and Mustering crew Of loud Potsdamers.
An 3 10, there dawns another, swift and stern, When on the wheels of wrath, by Justice token, Breaker of God's own Peace, yem,shall in turn .Yourself be broken.' 1
