PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. [November 28, 1891.
THE SWEET LITTLE CHERUB THAT SITS UP ALOFT."
(Modern Version, as it must he.)
[" The Associated Chambers of Commerce ask that the Coastguard stations, shore-lighthouses, rook lighthouses, and light-ships of the United Kingdom,
should, as far as possible, be connected by telegraph or telephone with the general telegraph system of the country. 1 as a means for the protection of life
and property, as well as for national defence.' .... France and America, Holland and Denmark, provide their seamen with this great safeguard in the
hour of their utmost need. Is England content to let her sailors die by hundreds for want of a little money, or for want of a little care ?"—Times.]
Prospero. - Why, that's my spirit! [ England, whose seamen are her shield, who vaunts in speech and
JSut was not th s nigh shore ?
Ariel. . Close by, my master.
Prospero. But are they, Ariel, safe r
Ariel. Not a hair perish'd.
Tempest, Act I., Scene 2.
Content f There 's many an English heart will hear with fierce
That England lags so far behind in these electric days— [amaze
song,
The love she bears her mariners! Wake, . Campbell, swift and
strong
Of swell and sweep as the salt waves yon sang as none could sing .
Rouse DrBDur, of the homelier flight, but steady waft of wing !
Poetic shades, this question, sure, should pierce the ear of death,
And make ye vocal once again with quick, indignant breath.
