POETRY.

RICHARD CLAVERHOUSE JEBB. FAREWELL: the Voice that called the Theban King, This night, rich-dowered soul, bath called on thee : Thou through the unknown ways art travelling To some fair life of ampler lore to be.

There what high Shades shall greet thee ! Chiefest He Whose song through thy fit spirit flowed like wine, Borne from the Mount that by the storied sea Lifts to the light Athene's Maiden-shrine.

ERNEST MYERS.
