TO

THE MOST NOBLE

THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE,

THIS LITTLE POEM

IS AFFECTIONATELY AND GRATEFULLY

INSCRIBED.

DEDICATION.

FRIEND of old days, of suffering, storm, and strife, Patient and kind through many a wild appeal; In the arena of thy brilliant life

Never too busy or too cold to feel:

Companion from whose ever-teeming store

Of thought and knowledge, happy memory brings So much of social wit and sage's lore,

Garnered and gleaned by me as precious things:

Kinsman of him whose very name soon grew
Unreal as music heard in pleasant dreams,

So vain the hope my girlish fancy drew,

So faint and far his vanished presence seems:

To thee I dedicate this record brief

Of foreign scenes and deeds too little known;
