the skilled by stratagem, and in August, the strong in battle._) Bust

HORAE MOMENTO VICTORIA. (_Victory in the space of an hour._) Naval
action between the United States frigate Constitution, of forty-four

completely dismasted; the Constitution, on the contrary, is but
slightly injured in her rigging. Exergue: INTER CONST. NAV. AMER. ET
