rk or play,
Like sunshine went and came, and bade
Live out the day!

Still, still I see the figure smart--
Trophy in mouth, agog to start,
Then, home return'd, once more depart;
Or prest together
Against thy mistress, loving heart,
In winter weather.

I see the tail, like bracelet twirl'd,
In moments of disgrace uncurl'd,
Then at a pardoning word re-furl'd,
A conquering sign;
Crying, "Come on, and range the world,
And never pine."

Thine eye was bright, thy coat it shone;
Thou hadst thine errands, off and on;
In joy thy last morn flew; anon,
A fit! All's over;
And thou art gone where Geist hath gone,
And Toss, and Rover.

Poor Max, with downcast, reverent head,
Regards his brother's form outspread;
Full well Max knows the friend is dead
Whose cordial talk,
And jokes in doggish language said,
Beguiled his walk.

And Glory, stretch'd at Burwood gate,
Thy passing by doth vainly wait;
And jealous Jock, thy only hate,
The chiel from Skye,
Lets from his shaggy Highland pate
Thy memory die.

Well, fetch his graven collar fine,
And rub the steel, and make it shine,
And leave it round thy neck to twine,
Kai, in thy grave.
There of thy master keep that sign,
And this plain stave.

_Saw The Wide Prospect, and the Asian Fen._

The name Europe ([Greek: Europe], _the wide prospect_) probably
describes the appearance of the European coast to the Greeks on the
coast of Asia Minor opposite. The name Asia, again, comes, it has been
thought, from the muddy fens of the rivers of Asia Minor, such as the
Cayster or Maeander, which struck the imagination of the Greeks living
near them.]

_Mycerinus._

"After Chephren, Mycerinus, son of Cheops, reigned over Egypt. He
abhorred his father's courses, and judged his subjects more justly than
any of their kings had done.--To him there came an oracle from the city
of Buto, to the effect that he was to live but six years longer, and to
die in the seventh year from that time."--HERODOTUS.]

Stagirius was a young monk to whom St. Chrysostom addressed three books,
and of whom those books give an account. They will be
