prosperous and happy, in that England which I shall see no more.

I see Her with a child upon her bosom, who bears my name. I see

her father, aged and bent, but otherwise restored, and faithful

to all men in his healing office, and at peace. I see the good

of their descendants, generations hence. I see her, an old woman,

weeping for me on the anniversary of this day. I see her and her

husband, their course done, lying side by side in their last

earthly bed, and I know that each was not more honoured and held

sacred in the other's soul, than I was in the souls of both.
