CIVIL WAR.


The city's full
Of camp-like noises--tramp of steeds, and clash
Of mail, and trumpet-blast, and ringing clang
Of busy armourers--the grim ban-dog bays--
The champing war horse in his stall neighs loud--
The vulture shrieks aloft.


FEAR.


Terror, not love,
Strikes anchor in ignoble souls.


THE CAPITOL BELL.[3]

[3] The passage between commas is omitted in the representation, but we
know not why.


It is the bell that thou so oft hast heard
Summoning the band of liberty--"the bell
That pealed its loud, triumphant note, and raised
Its mighty voice with such a mastery
Of glorious power, as if the spirit of sound
That dwells in the viewless wind, and walks the waves
