'Here lies Fred,
Who was alive, and is dead:
If it had been his father,
I'd much rather;
Had it been his mother,
Better than another;
Were it his sister,
Nobody would have miss'd her;
Were it the whole generation,
The better for the nation.
But since it's only Fred,
There's no more to be said,
But that he was alive, and is dead.'

We quote this from recollection of Thackeray's recitation, but think it
pretty accurate.]

[Footnote 3: 'Neustria:' Normandy.]

[Footnote 4: 'Fountain of light,' &c. Scott as well as Somerville loved
to write in brilliant sunshine.]

[Footnote 6: 'Talbot kind:' Derived, we think, from the famous John
Talbot, the first Earl of Shrewsbury, who employed this species of hound
against the Irish rebels.]

[Footnote 7: 'Aurengzebe:' in 1659, seized the throne of India, after
murdering his relatives, but became a good, wise, and brave emperor.]

[Footnote 8: 'Ammon's son:' Alexander the Great.]

[Footnote 9: 'Blooming youth:' Fred again.]

[Footnote 10: 'Apulia:' now Puglia, the south-eastern part of Italy.]
