Poetry .
STRIKE FOR THE JUST AND TRUE . ( REPHISTED EEOJI THE Royal Cornwall Gazette ) . Strike for the just and true , Though with the weak and few ,
Sot with the sabre , the sword , or the dart , Helmet , shield , coat of mail ; All are but weak and frail . Truth like a light'ning flash pierces the heart .
AA'hat though the cannon roar , Drenching tbe field with gore ; Love is the power will govern the world : Strike with thy sympathy , Thought that is pure and free Laughs at the thunders that despots have hurl'd . Falsehood shall fade and die
, Falsehood shall shrivell'd lie , Scorched by the radiance that darts from the truth ; Truth shall mount up on high , Eagle-like pierce the sky , Ever renewing her beauty and youth . Cold is expediency ;
Virtue is heavenly , She drinks the nectar that seraphims quaff , A \ hat though the world may rail , Let not thy courage fail Earth ' s frowns and favours are light as its chaff . Fickle as Fancy's child
, By every toy beguil'd . Heaven gives justice , and mercy , and love ; But earth ' s " Hosanna cry , " Changes to " Crucify , " " Well done ye righteous , " comes down from above .
God is the Holy One , Strive that His will be done , Vaiu are the malice and craft of the foe ; Onward the truth must run ; On like the radiant sun , Vainly the storm-clouds are musterd below . Up o ' er the mountain path
; Up spite of scoff and wrath . Virtue must labour , though Vice sit supine ; Up where the orb of day , Darts its refulgent ray , Vice is seductive , but Truth is Divine . See ! at the pearly gate
Angels of glory wait ! Beck ' ning the spirits that strive for the true ; Mark where the golden crown Flashes resplendence down ! Heaven is open , and waiting for you ! F . B . MICHELL , Fortitude Lodge , 131
