This remarkable stamp caused no end of criticism, at home and abroad, not only because of its novel and startling design, but also because of the bombastic legend which appeared upon it. The following clipping from the Chicago Tribune^ explains the origin of the motto: — The motto chosen by Mr. Mulock, "We hold a vaster empire than has been,'' is from the jubilee ode of Sir Lewis Morris, entitled a "Song of Empire", with the date, June 20, 1897, as a subtitle, indicat- ing its tone and purpose.... An excerpt from the last stanza, from which the motto was taken, is as follows: "We love not war, but only peace.
Yet never shall our England's power decrease !
Whoever guides our helm of state.
Let all men know it, England shall be great !
We hold a vaster empire than has been !
Nigh half the race of man is subject to our Queen !
Nigh half the wide, wide earth is ours in fee !
And where her rule comes all are free.
And therefore 'tis, O Queen, that we.
Knit fast in bonds of temperate liberty, Eejoiee to-day, and make our solemn jubilee !" In consequence of the peculiar legend, the stamp has been dubbed, not ineptly, the "has been" stamp.
