ANTONY'S FUNERAL ORATION.

If you have tears, prepare to дed them now.
You all do know this mantle : I remember
The first time ever Cæsar pt it on:
'Twas on a summer's evening, in his tent;
That day he overcame the Nervii:

Look! in this place ran Cassius' dagger through
See, what a rent the envious Casca made:

Through this, the well-beloved Brutus stabb'd:
And, as he pluck'd his cursed steel away,

Mark how the blood of Cæsar follow'd it;

As rushing out of doors to be resolved

If Brutus so unkindly knock'd or no;

For Brutus, as you know, was Cæsar's angel:

Judge, O you gods, how dearly Cæsar loved him!

This was the most unkindest cut of all;

For when the noble Cæsar saw him stab,

Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' arms,

Quite vanquish'd him: then burst his mighty heart;
And, in his mantle muffling up his face,;

Even at the base Pompey's statue,

Which all the while ran blood, great Cæsar fell,
O, what a fall was there. my countrymen!
Then I, and you, and all of us fell down,
Whilst bloody treason flourish'd over us.

"-Act III.

Eulius Cæsar,"

THE BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD.

T. O'HARA.

HE muffled drum's sad roll has beat
The soldier's last tattoo;

No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.

On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,

And glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.

No rumor of the foe's advance

Now swells upon the wind;

No troubled thought at midnight haunts
Of loved ones left behind;

No vision of the morrow's strife
The warrior's dream alarms,
No braying horn or screaming fife
At the dawn shall call to arms.

Their shivered swords are red with rust,

Their plumed heads are bowed,

Their haughty banner trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud-

And plenteous funeral tears have washed The red stains from each brow,

And the proud forms, by battle gashed, Are free from anguish now.

The neighing troop, the flashing blade, The bugle's stirring blast,

The charge, the fearful cannonade,

The din and shout are past—
Nor war's wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture of the fight.

Like the fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps its great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Came down the serried foe-
Who heard the thunder of the fray
Break o'er the field beneath,

Knew well the watchword of that day
Was victory or death.

Full many a mother's breath has swept
O'er Angostura's plain,

And long the pitying sky has wept

Above its moldered slain.

The raven's scream or eagle's flight,
Or shepherd's pensive lay,

Alone now wake each solemn height
That frowned o'er that dread fray.

Sons of the dark and bloody ground;
Ye must not slumber there,

THE BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD.

Where stranger steps and tongues resound

Along the heedless air;

Your own proud land's heroic soil

Shall be your fitter grave;

She claims from war her richest spoil

The ashes of her brave.

Thus 'neath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the gory field,

Borne to a Spartan mother's breast
On many a bloody shield.

The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,

And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The heroes' sepulchre.

Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead!
Dear as the blood ye gave,
No impious footstep here shall tread
The herbage of your grave.

Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.

Yon marble minstrel's voiceless stone
In deathless song shall tell,

When many a vanished year hath flown
The story how ye fell;

Nor wreck, nor change, nor Winter's blight

Nor Time's remorseless doom,

Can dim one ray of holy light

That gilds your glorious tomb.
