balbus et edentulus; non ut debui circuitu tardiore diutius explicare tentavi; 

veridicus speculator Oggerus celerrimo visu contuitus dixit ad Desiderium: 

Ecce;   habes   quem   tantopere   perquisisti。   Et   haec   dicens;   pene   exanimis

                            PARAPHRASE。 



     To    Oggier    spake    King    Didier:   〃When      cometh    Charlemagne?        We 

looked for him in harvest: We looked for him in rain。 Crops are reaped; 

and   floods   are   past; And   still   he   is   not   here。   Some   token   show;   that   we 

may know That Charlemagne is near。〃 

     Then   to   the   King   made   answer   Oggier;   the   christened   Dane:   〃When 

stands   the   iron   harvest;   Ripe   on   the   Lombard   plain;   That   stiff   harvest 

which is reaped With sword of knight and peer; Then by that sign ye may 

divine That Charlemagne is near。 

     〃When round the Lombard cities The iron flood shall flow; A swifter 

flood   than   Ticin; A  broader   flood   than   Po;   Frothing   white   with   many   a 

plume; Dark blue with many a spear; Then by that sign ye may divine That 

Charlemagne is near。〃

                    EPITAPH ON LORD 

                           METCALFE。 



    (1847。) 

    Near this stone is laid CHARLES; LORD METCALFE; A Statesman 

tried in many high offices; And difficult conjunctures; And found equal to 

all。   The   three   greatest   Dependencies      of  the   British  Crown     Were 

successively entrusted to his care。 In India; his fortitude; his wisdom; His 

probity; and his moderation; Are held in honourable remembrance By men 

of many races; languages; and religions。 In Jamaica; still convulsed by a 

social   revolution;   His  prudence    calmed   the  evil  passions   Which    long 

suffering had engendered in one class And long domination in another。 In 

Canada; not yet recovered from the calamities of civil war; He reconciled 

contending   factions   to   each   other;   And   to   the   Mother   Country。   Costly 

monuments   in   Asiatic   and   American     cities   Attest   the   gratitude   of  the 

nations which he ruled。 This tablet records the sorrow and the pride With 

which his memory is cherished by his family。
