FROM "OXFORD."
♦ City of weathered cloister nud worn court; Grey city of strong ttum-s and clustering spnuh ; Where art's fresh loveliness would ft ret resort, Where lingering are kindled her latest, iircs! Wliere on all bonds, wondrous with ancient grace, Grace touched with age, rise works of goodliest men. Near Wykeham's art obtain their splendid place The zeal of Inigo, the (strength of Wren. Wliere at each coign of every antique street, A memory hath taken root m stone; There, Raleigh ehone; there toiled i ranciscian foot; There, Johnson flinched not, but- endured alone. There Shelley dreamed his white Platonic dreams; There; classic Landor throve on Roman thought; There, Addison pursued his quiet themes; There, smiled .Erasmus, ;ukl there. Go let taught. r-Lionel Johnson.
