Declared, with all his grand discoveries recent,

That he himself felt only "like a youth

Picking up shells by the great ocean-Truth."

BYRON.-Don Juan, Canto VII. Verse V. Line 5.

When I look on my boys
They renew all my joys,

Myself in my children I see;

While the comforts I find
In the kingdom my mind,

Pronounce that my kingdom is free.

By scars which his activity has left

Beside our roads and pathways;

He who with pocket-hammer smites the edge

Of luckless rock or prominent stone,

A chip or splinter.

Wide, and more wide, the floating rings advance,
Fill all the watery plain, and to the margin dance.
