      What of my Second will my First bring forth ? Is asked from West , from East , from South , from North . Dark clouds hang o ' er the cradle of the child Ere yet ' tis born ; dire Signs and Rumours wild On all sides seen and heard ; a lurid glare Scorches the Wings of Hope and turns her to Despair .

      ( i . ) A chasm on the Sea of ice , A gulf of blazing fire Do this as well as little boys , Whom prosy sermons tire . ( 2 . ) Flow on thou boundary of strife , Flow on remorseless River'Tis Blood , and not thy cold , cold waves ,

      That makes the gazer shiver . ( 3- )

      But few there are who wish not thus They might begin their life ; Yet if they could , it would not change The issue of the Strife . ( 4 . ) " A Bear and Ragged Staff ' s" a sign , Which oft oil allures aiiures thirstv soul soui

      wmen a a mirsty .. This People sure would say , the sign Should be " The Bear and Broken Pole . "
