SERBIA.
4. (A Simile.) Back through tho vistas, wan with dire distress,-' \ Worn, tortured, buffeted though born to bless, There stands the spectre of a fair princess. Chained, ca.gcd—as if a brute in some fell liolo— By beasts who only thus can wield control — The iron hath entered deep into her soul. And yet that soul is free and firm and proud. Ne'er to the Despot hath its stature i bowed, Nor will it blench beforo th' ignoble Crowd— Voiceless, for vengeance cries her doom aloud. —Walter Sichel in the " Westminster Gazette."
