THE MMARTYRS.
through the straight pass. of suffering
the martyrs even trod,
their feet upon temptation,
their faces upon god.
a stately,shriven company;
convulsion playing round,
harmless as streaks of meteor
upon a planet's bound.
their faith the everlasting troth;
their expectation fair;
the needle to the north degree
Wades so, through polar air.
