AILSA PAIGE
A NOVEL

the trivial with the solemn, bathos with
pathos, the commonplace with the sublime."

Countenance hath conquered forever."


AND TO THE VANQUISHED

Low in the dust, in stiffening ruin lay,
Felt the hoofs beat, and heard the rattling traces
As o'er us drove the chariots of the fray.
