LANCASHIRE WORTHIES.

BY

FRANCIS ESPINASSE.

Second Series.

Hic manus, ob patriam pugnando vulnera passi,
Quique sacerdotes casti, dum vita manebat,
Quique pii vates, et Phoebo digna locuti,
Inventas aut qui vitam excoluere per artes,
Quique sui memores alios fecere merendo."

Eneid, vi. 660-65.

"Behold, a band

Of whom some suffered for heir Fatherland;

With them are priests whose lives were undefiled,
And reverent bards on whom Apollo smiled.

Inventors, too, of useful arts are here,

And those whose worth has made their memory dear."
