“The sun rarely shines in history, what with the dust and confusion; and when we meet with any cheering fact which implies the presence of this luminary, we excerpt and modernize it.”

Our virgins dance beneath the shade—

But gazing on each glowing maid,
My own the burning tear-drop laves,
To think such breasts must suckle slaves.”
