KING ALFRED

A saint without superstition, a scholar without ostentation, a

warrior who fought only in defense of his country, a conqueror

whose laurels were never stained with cruelty, a prince never cast

down by adversity, nor lifted up to insolence in the hour of

triumph--there is no other name in English history to compare with

his.
