A DEDICATION.

FISHER and More! in you the Church and State
Of England-England of the years gone by-
Her spiritual law, her civil equity,

Twins of one justice, for the last time sate

On equal thrones. 'Twas England's day of fate:
Ye kenned the omens and stood up to die :
State-rule in Faith, ye knew, means heresy:

That truth ye wrote in blood, and closed debate
By act, not words. A blood as red, as pure,
They shed, that brave Carthusian brotherhood,
St. Bruno's silent sons. Martyrs! be sure

That o'er the land, thus doubly dyed and dewed,
The Faith your death confessed, shall rise renewed-
A tree of peace for ever to endure.

AUBREY DE Vere.
