LINNELL'S POEM. When news of this gathering was sent me, requesting That I would add something, if only a trifle, To fill out the banquet, my Muse stood aghast : It seemed altogether bej'ond her endeavor, To serve aught that was meet for occasion so regal. But a voice whispered low, " Who ever knew Montague True, to fail in the effort, whate'er the task set him? " So I banished my fears, and turned me to know What old time had to show of the Montague story. And my heart beat with pride, as I ma...rked on its pages Name after name, renowned through all ages For courage and eloquence, learning and wisdom, And all that exalts and ennobles a nation ; The warrior, the statesman, the patriot, the martyr, The poet, the writer, benefactor and traveller, And no one knows what all, crowned with all titles THE MONTAGUES AT II AD LET. 47 Kings, queens, and protector delighted to lavish. My spirit was stirred, and I could not refrain From adding one strain, howe'er feeble and faint, To the song of rejoicing, ascending this day from All hearts, met here to pay homage profound, To our ancestors noble, and greetings fraternal To kith and to kin, howe'er near or remote, Who this day can say, " I too am a proud Montague.
