_We must be free or die, who speak the tongue
That Shakespeare spake: the faith and morals hold

WORDSWORTH’S “It is not to be thought of.”
_Drink! to our fathers who begot us men,
To the dead voices that are never dumb;
Then to the land of all our loves, and then
To the long parting, and the age to come._

“Chin-Waggers”

see such jobs done: _Private E. Mayhead_.
