("Il S'Est Dit Tant De Fois.") [Iii., May, 1830.] How Often Have The People Said: "What's Power?" Who Reigns Soon Is Dethroned? Each Fleeting Hour Has Onward Borne, As In A Fevered Dream, Such Quick Reverses, Like A Judge Supreme - Austere But Just, They Contemplate The End To Which The Current Of Events Must Tend. Self-Confidence Has Taught Them To Forbear, And In The Vastness Of Their Strength, They Spare. Armed With Impunity, For One In Vain Resists A Nation, They Let Others Reign. G.W.M. Reynolds.
