TESTVÉRISÉG 17 To tell how in each neighborhood the welcome was renewed, How in the Park, when it was dark, the soldiers were reviewed — And after to the Irving House politely he was led, How very glad the hero was to tumble into bed. How in the night, all dressed in white, the Turners did parade, Intending to disturb the dreamer with a serenade, All these to tell, I know quite well, would caviare be, And so adieu, and thanks to you who like my minstrelsye. John Brougham Prom: Basket of Chips, New York, 1855. ★ ON KOSSUTH'S VOYAGE TO AMERICA Rave over other lands and other seas, Ill-omened black-wing’d Breeze! But spare the friendly sails that waft away Him, who was deemed the prey Of despot dark as thou, one sending forth The torturers of the North, To fix upon his Caucasus once more, The demi-god who bore To sad Humanity heaven’s fire and light, Whereby should re unite In happier bonds, the nations of the earth; Whose Jove-like brow gave birth To that higli wisdom, whence all blessings flow On mortals here below. Rack not, O Boreal Breeze, that laboring breast On which half-dead, yet rest The hopes of millions, and rest there alone. Impiously every throne Crushes the credulous; none else than he Can raise and set them free. O bear him on in safety and in health! Bear on a freight of wealth Such as no vessel yet hath ever borne; Although with banner torn He urges through tempestuous waves his way; Yet shall a brighter day Shine on him in his own reconquered field; Relenting fate shall yield To constant Virtue. Hungary! no more Thy saddest loss deplore; Look to the star-crown’d Genius of the West, Sole guardian of the opprest. O! that one only nation dared to save KOSSUTH, the true and brave! W. S. Landor Prom: “Littell’s Living; Age,” Boston, Dec. 27, 1851 Also: The Working Man’s Friend and Family Instructor, London, 1852.
