SHAKS.: _Henry VIII.,_ Act iii, Sc. 2.

I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself,
And falls on the other.

SHAKS.: _Macbeth,_ Act i, Sc. 7.

Ambition has but one reward for all:
A little power, a little transient fame,
A grave to rest in, and a fading name.
76
WILLIAM WINTER: _Queen's Domain._

To reign is worth ambition, though in hell:
Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven.
77
MILTON: _Par. Lost,_ Bk. i., Line 262.

Such joy ambition finds.

MILTON: _Par. Lost,_ Bk. iv., Line 92.


=America.=

America! half brother of the world!
With something good and bad of every land;
Greater than thee have lost their seat--
