"Sharp words we had before the fight; But  now the fight is done   Look, here's my hand," said the Victor bold, "Take it  an honest one! What, holding back? I mean you well; Though worsted, you strove stoutly, man; The odds were great; I honor you; Man honors man. SHARP WORDS WE HAD BEFORE THE FIGHT BUT NOW THE FIGHT IS DONE LOOK HERE'S MY HAND SAID THE VICTOR BOLD TAKE IT AN HONEST ONE WHAT HOLDING BACK I MEAN YOU WELL THOUGH WORSTED YOU STROVE STOUTLY MAN THE ODDS WERE GREAT I HONOUR YOU MAN HONOURS MAN
t, by E. Vedder, in the Spring Exhibition of the National Academy, 1865. The sufferance of her race is shown, And retrospect of life, Which now too late deliverance dawns upon; Yet is she not at strife. Her children’s children they shall know The good withheld from her; And so her reverie takes prophetic cheer-- In spirit she sees the stir Far down the depth of thousand years, And marks the revel shine; Her dusky face is lit with sober light, Sibylline, yet benign. The Apparition. (A Retrospect.) Convulsions came; and, where the field Long slept in pastoral green, A goblin-mountain was upheaved (Sure the scared sense was all deceived), Marl-glen and slag-ravine. The unreserve of Ill was there, The clinkers in her last retreat; But, ere the eye could take it in, Or mind could comprehension win, It sunk!--and at our feet. So, then, Solidity’s a crust-- The core of fire below; All may go well for many a year, But who can think without a fear Of horrors that happen so? Magnanimity Baffled.
