TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN

IN RECOGNITION OF HIS KINDLY INTEREST

IN THE WORK

OF A FELLOW-TEACHER

ETERNAL Spirit of the chainless Mind!

Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heartThe heart which love of thee alone can bind; And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd To fetters and the damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom, And Freedom's fame finds wings on every wind. Chillon thy prison is a holy place,

- for 'twas trod,

And thy sad floor an altar
Until his very steps have left a trace

Worn, as if thy cold pavement were a sod,

By Bonnivard!

May none those marks efface!

For they appeal from tyranny to God.
