AUTHOR OF "ETHALDI," "THE OUTCAST," "THE DESERTERS,' ETC. ETC.

"Still question'd me the story of my life,

From year to year; the battles, sieges, fortunes,

That I have pass'd.

I ran it through, even from my boyish days,

To the very moment that he bade me tell it;

Wherein I spoke of most disastrous chances;

Of moving accidents, by flood, and field;

Of hair-breadth 'scapes i' the imminent deadly breach;

Of my being taken by the insolent foe,

And sold to slavery; of my redemption thence,

And portance in my travels' history;

Wherein of antres vast, and deserts idle,

Rough quarries, rocks and hills whose neads touch heaven,
It was my hint to speak, such was the process.”
