_Stanzas in "Childe Harold"_ (Vol. iv., p. 223.).--Surely nothing can be
clearer than the construction in the lines quoted by our correspondent
T. W.:
"Thy shores are empires, changed in all save thee--
Assyria, Greece, Rome, Carthage, what are they?
Thy waters wasted them while they were free,
And many a tyrant since (has wasted them)."
To add one word to confirm what is so transparent, would be merely
occupying your space without the slightest necessity.
