To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"] "On this spot the French cavalry charged, and broke the Englist squares ! " — Narrative of a French Tourist.
" Is it true, think you?" — Winter's Tale.
Ay, here such valorous deeds were done As ne'er were done before ; Ay, here the reddest wreath was won That ever Gallia wore ; Since Ariosto's wondrous Knight Made all the Paynims dance, There never dawned a day so bright As Waterloo's on France.
The trumpet poured its deafening sound, Flags fluttered on the gale, 114 POLITICAL AND OCCASIONAL... POEMS.
And cannon roared, and heads flew round As fast as summer hail ; The sabres flashed their light of fear, The steeds began to prance ; The English quaked from front to rear — They never quake in France !
The cuirassiers rode in and out As fierce as wolves and bears ; 'Twas grand to see them slash about Among the English squares ! And then the Polish Lancer came Careering with his lance ; l\o wonder Britain blushed for shame, And ran away from France !
The Duke of York was killed that day ; The king was sadly scarred ; Lord Eldon, as he ran away, Was taken by the Guard ; Poor Wellington with fifty Blues Escaped by some mischance ; Henceforth I think he'll hardly choose To show himself in France.
