veridicus speculator Oggerus celerrimo visu contuitus dixit ad Desiderium:
Ecce; habes quem tantopere perquisisti。 Et haec dicens; pene exanimis

PARAPHRASE。
To Oggier spake King Didier: 〃When cometh Charlemagne? We
looked for him in harvest: We looked for him in rain。 Crops are reaped;
and floods are past; And still he is not here。 Some token show; that we
may know That Charlemagne is near。〃
Then to the King made answer Oggier; the christened Dane: 〃When
stands the iron harvest; Ripe on the Lombard plain; That stiff harvest
which is reaped With sword of knight and peer; Then by that sign ye may
divine That Charlemagne is near。
〃When round the Lombard cities The iron flood shall flow; A swifter
flood than Ticin; A broader flood than Po; Frothing white with many a
plume; Dark blue with many a spear; Then by that sign ye may divine That
Charlemagne is near。〃

EPITAPH ON LORD
METCALFE。
(1847。)
Near this stone is laid CHARLES; LORD METCALFE; A Statesman
tried in many high offices; And difficult conjunctures; And found equal to
all。 The three greatest Dependencies of the British Crown Were
successively entrusted to his care。 In India; his fortitude; his wisdom; His
probity; and his moderation; Are held in honourable remembrance By men
of many races; languages; and religions。 In Jamaica; still convulsed by a
social revolution; His prudence calmed the evil passions Which long
suffering had engendered in one class And long domination in another。 In
Canada; not yet recovered from the calamities of civil war; He reconciled
contending factions to each other; And to the Mother Country。 Costly
monuments in Asiatic and American cities Attest the gratitude of the
nations which he ruled。 This tablet records the sorrow and the pride With
which his memory is cherished by his family。
