Not illustrated. 1905 Excerpt: ... and sweetest that blow On the beautiful bosom of May. 16 See how they have safely surviv'd The frowns of a sky so severe; Such Mary's true love, that has liv'd Through many a turbulent year. The charms of the late blowing rose Seem grac'd with a livelier hue, And the winter of sorrow best shows The truth of a friend such as you. 24 ON THE TRIAL OF ADMIRAL KEPPEL Written 1778. Published, from the copy among the Ash MSS., in The Universal Review, 1890. Keppel, returning from afar With laurels on his brow, Comes home to wage a sharper war, And with a fiercer foe.

Though now he sink oppress'd with shame, Forgetful of his former fame, Yet Keppel with deserv'd applause Proclaims him bold in Britain's cause, And to his well known courage pays The tribute of heroic praise. Go learn of him whom ye ador...
