TO THE BELGIANS
{From England.) 0 men of mickle heart and little speech, , Slow, stubborn countrymen of heath and plain, Now have'ye shown these insolent again' That which to Caesar's legions ye could teach, That slow-provoked is long-provoked. May each Crass Caesar learn it of our Keltic grain' Until at last he reckon it in vain To browbeat us who hold the Western reach. For even as you are,'we are^ —ill' to rouse, Rooted in Custom, Order, Church, and King; And as you fight for their Bake so shall we, Doggedly, inch by inch and house by house, ' Seeing for us, too there's a dearer thing Than or blood—a,nd that thing Liberty. : —Maurice Hewlett, in The Westminster .-"Gazette.",
