_Charade_ (Vol. vi., p. 604.).--
"By mystic sign and symbol known,
To Daniel, wise and meek, alone,
Was Persia's coming _wo_ foreshown.
"And in great Cæsar's proudest day,
The Gospel held a mightier sway,
And _man_ shone forth with purest ray.
"But when, in Babylonia chain'd,
_Man_ of his deepening _wo_ complain'd,
A _woman_ conquering both, in faithful Esther reign'd."
