Text Appearing Before Image:
e convent, or some peaceful cell. For what availd that thy victorious queen Repaird the ruins of that dreadful day ? That vanquishd York, on Wakefields purple green,Prostrate amidst the common slaughter lay ? In vain iair Victry beamd the gladdniag eye,And, waving oft her golden pinions, smild ; Full soon the flattring goddess meant to fly.Full rightly deenid unsteady Fortunes child. Let Towtons field—But cease the dismal tale :For much its horrors would the Muse appal. In softer strains suffice it to bewailThe Patriots exile, or the Heros fall. Thus silver Wharf *, whose crystal sparkling urnReflects the brilliance of his blooming shore. Still, melsncholy-mazing, seems to mourn.But rolls, confusd, a crimson wave no more. * Dr. Langhorii is evidently incorrect, in referring to the Wharf. Thebatile was fought at too great a distance from that river, tor it to be tingedwith the blood of the slain. It was a small river called the Cock, whichwas near the sceiie of action. TANSHEIJ- TOWN
