Where flows the Charles past wharf and dock, And Learning from Laval looks down, And quiet convents grace the town ; There swift to meet the battle shock, Montcalm rushed on ; and eddying back Red slaughter marked the bridge's track ; See now the shores with lumber brown, And girt with happy lands which lack No loveliness of summer's crown.
Página 312 - Of British freedom here, Restrain the lawless savage, And protect the pioneer ; And 'tis a proud and daring trust To hold these vast domains With but three hundred mounted men — The Riders of the Plains.
Página 172 - Talbot's life has been one of persevering, heroic self-devotion to the completion of a magnificent plan, laid down in the first instance, and followed up with unflinching tenacity of purpose.
