314 THE EXETER ROAD 



Tliey knew both how to fight tintl how to die, 

 those dauntless Cavaliers. The Earl of Derby, who 

 suffered at Bolton, Sir Charles Lucas and Sir George 

 Ijisle, barbarously shot at the taking of Colchester ; 

 gray-haired Sir 'Nicholas Kemys at Chepstow, and 

 many another died as valiantly as their master — 



Who nothing little did, nor mean, 

 But bowed his shapely head 

 Down, as npon a bed. 



It is away through the city and across the Exe, to 

 where the road rises in the direction of Dartmoor, 

 that one of the finest views back upon the streets and 

 the cathedral is obtained. Exeter from the Dunsford 

 road, glimpsed by the ancient and decrepit elm 

 pictured here, is worth seeing and the view itself is 

 worth preserving, for elm and old-world foreground, 

 with the inevitable chano-es which the orowth of 

 Exeter is bringing about, will not long remain. Like 

 many another relic of a past era along this old 

 highway, they are vanishing even while the busy 

 chronicler of byegone days is hastening to record 

 them.
