Good Cheer to Lady Franklin.
J3o of good courage, Lady ! still, though tiied, Maintain the trusting heart, The faithful consort's part, So as befits a gallant s.iilor'b bride. Yet live in hope; though bitter tidings lack, Thy hubbiind and his crew Ilavp left ?io happier clue ; But not a sign of shipwreck marks their track. Sound vrao fha barques these hardy hearts that Lore; Soon may v. c see again Him and his, iron men In joy and honour stand on England's shore. Think of the braves who sought their kindled band ; Jn ico illimitable bound, And drifting o'er the vast profound, Freed on a sudden by a vievs less fland. That Hand of might out-stretched upon the sea That broke the fiozen continent Wheiem thes>e mariners were pent, Lady ' may send thy husband back to thee.
