THOMAS CAMPBELL _From an engraving after the portrait by James Lonsdale._ WILLIAM COWPER _From an engraving_. THE AUTHOR'S FIRST SINGING OF THE MARSEILLAISE "To arms! to arms! ye brave! The avenging sword unsheathe." _From a photogravure after the painting by J.A.A. Pils_. A CAVALRY CHARGE "My darling! ah, the glass is out! The bullets ring, the riders shout-- No time for wine or sighing! There! bring my love the shattered glass-- Charge! On the foe! No joys surpass Such dying!" _From photogravure by Goupil, after a painting by Édouard Détaille_. NATHAN HALE "'Neath the blue morn, the sunny morn, He dies upon the tree, And he mourns that he can lose But one life for liberty." |
