XXXV.

The Psalmist numbered out the years of man: They are enough; and if thy tale be _true_,[hr] Thou, who didst grudge him even that fleeting span,[297] More than enough, thou fatal Waterloo! Millions of tongues record thee, and anew Their children's lips shall echo them, and say-- "Here, where the sword united nations drew,[hs] Our countrymen were warring on that day!" And this is much--and all--which will not pass away.
