A MEW BALLAD BY ALFRED TENNYSOS.

At Flores in the Azores Sir Richard Grenville lay,

And 4 rinnace, like a fluttered bird, came fly- ing from far away. oe

‘Spanish ships of war at sea ! we have sighted fifty-three !”

Then swore Lord Thomas Howard; ‘fore God I am no coward ;

But I cannot meet them here, for my ships are out of gear,

And the half my men are sick, I must fly, but follow quick, : }

We are six ships of the line; can we fight with fifty-three ?”’

ti

Then spake Sir Richard Grenville: ‘' 1 know you are no coward ;

You fly them for a moment to fight with them again.

But I’ve ninety men or more that are lying sick ashore,

I should count myself a coward if I left them,

my Lord Howard, ‘ To these inquisition dogs and the devildoms of Spain.”

ilt

So Lord Howard pas’t away with tive ships of war that day,

Till he melted like a cloud in a silent summer heaven ;

But Sir Richard bore in hand all his sick men from the land

Very carefully and siow,

Men of Bideford in Devon,

And we laid them on the ballast down below ‘

For we brought them ail aboard,

And they blest him in their pain, that they were not left to Spain,

To the thumb screw and the stake, for the glory of the Lord.

IV

He had only a hundred seamen to work the ship and fight,

And he sailed away from Flores till the Span- iard came in sight,

With his huge sea-castles heaving upon the weather bow,

* Shall we fight or shall we fly ”

Goed Sir Richard, let us know,

For to fight is but to die!

There'll be little of ns left by the time this sun be,”

And Sir tichard said again : Englishmen,

Let us bang these dogs of Seville, the children of the devil,

Por I never turned my back upon Don or devil yet.”

“We be all good

Vv

Sir Richard spoke and he laughed, and we roar’d a hurrah, and so

The little Revenge ran on sheer into the heart of the foe,

With her hundred fighters on deck, and her ninety sick below.

Yor half of their fleet to the right, and half to the left were seen,

And the little Revenge ran on thro’ the long sea-lane between.

v1

Thousands of their soldiers look’d down from their decks and laugh'd,

Thousands of their seamen made mock at the mad little craft

Running on and on, till delayed

By their mountain-like San Philip that of fifteen hundred tons,

And up shadowing high above us with her

awning tiers of guns, Took the breath from our sails, and we stay’d.

vil

And while now the great San Philip hung above us like a cloud

Whence the thunder bolt will fall

Long and loud

Four galleons drew away

From the Spanish fleet that day,

And two upon the larboard and two upon the starboard lay,

And the battle-thunder broke from them.

vill

But anon the great San Philip, she bethought herself and went

Having that within her womb that had left _— ill-content ;

And the rest they came aboard us, and they fought us hand to hand,

For a dozen times they came with their pikes and musqueteers,

And a dozen times we shook ’em of as a dog that shakes his ears

When he leaps from the water to the land.

IX

And the sun went down, and the stars came out far over the summer sea,

But never a moment ceased the fight on the one and the fifty-three,

Ship after ship, the whole night long, their high-built galleons came,

Ship after ship, the whole night long, with battle thunder and flame,

Ship after ship, the whole night long‘ drew back with her dead and her shame.

For some were sunk and many were shatter’d, and so could fight us ne more—

God of battles, was ever a battle like this in world before ?

xX For he said, ‘‘ Fight on! fight on,” Tho’ his vessel was all but a wreck ; And it chanced that, when halffof the summer night was gone,

With a grisly wound to be dressed he had lef |

the deck,

But a bullet struck him that was dressing it suddenly dead,

And himself was wounded again in the side and the head,

And he said ‘‘, Fight on! fight on!”

XI

And the night went down and the sua 21,:icd out far over the summer sea,

And the spanish fleet with broken sides jay round all im a ring;

But they dared not touch us again, for they feared that we still could sling,

Sothey watched what the end would be,

And we had not fought them in vain,

But in perilous plight were we, °

And half the rest of us maimed for life

ate strife ;

And the sick men down in the hold were most of them stark and cold,

And the pikes were ali broken er bent, and the

powder was all of it spent,

PE ia ua cas caren

SSeS

And the masts and the rigging were lying over the side ;

But Sir Richard cried in his English pride,

“We have fought such a fight for a day anda night

Aa may never be fought again '

We have won great glory, my wen !

And a day less or more

At sea or ashore

We die—-does it matter when ?

;Sink me the ship, Master Ganner split her in twain, :

Fall irto the hands of God, not into the hands of Spain.”

Xil.

Andthe gunner said ‘‘ay, ay,” but the seaman made reply ; ,

We have children, we have wives,

And the Lord liath spared oar lives,

We will make the Spaniard promise, if we yield, to let us go ;

We shall live to fight again and to strike an- other blow ” Andjthe lion there lay dying, aud they yielded

to the foe. |

XII.

And the stately Spanish men to there flagship bore him then,

Where they laid him by the mast, old Sir Richard caught at last,

And they praised him to his face with their courtly foreign grace ;

But he rose upon their decks, and he cried :

‘‘T have fought for Queen and Faith, like a valiant man, and true ;

I have only done my duty as a man is bound to do ;

With a joyful spirit, I, Sir Richard Granville, die !”

And he fell upon their decks, and he died.

XIV,

And they stared at the dead, that had been so valiant and true,

And had holden the power and glory of Spain so cheap,

That he dared her with one little ship, and his English few ;

Was he devil or man? he was devil for aught they knew ;

But they sank his body with honer down into

the deep,

'

XV.

And they mann’d the Revenge with a swar thier alien crew,

And away she sailed with her loss, and longed for her own ;

When a wind from the lands they had ruin‘d,

awoke from sleep,

And the water began to leave and weather to moan.

And, or ever that evening ended, a great gale

blew,

And a wave like the wave that is raised by an carthquake grew,

Till it smote on their hulls and their sails and

their masts and their flags,

And the whole sea plunged and fell on the

shot, shattered navy of Spain,

And the little Revenge herself, went down by

the island crags,

To be lostevermore in the main.

Cedars! Cedars!

EARKEN, FRIENDS! If we cannot have Cedars from Lebanon, of sacred fame, let us have the Cedars from our own Nursery in the West. The subscriber expects to offer for sale in Charlottetown, about the 10th inst., a quantity of young CEDARS, of all sizes, to suit customers, for hedges or home ornamentation. They have been raised on dry upland, and therefore are well suited for transplanting. It is a beautiful aromatic evergreen, and will tend to make all who look upon it happy all the year round. We shall sell in large or small lots, and at low prices. As we only purpose remaining one day in town, those who leave their names at the Examiner @ffice will be called on first.

CATARRE. Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

WM. McKECHNIK, Supt. P. BIER.

T. J. B. Harprne, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Deak Sir—It is now two years since your “‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to true.’’J

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head

had become very disagreeable, and a choking

sensation often preventing me from lying lon

I would feel like smothering and be com to sit upin the bed. My health and spirita were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quacter o the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolie with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister,

Port Elgin, Ont,, Aug. 24, 1878,
