heavenly light—it is that on which is recorded the faith, 
constancy, and glorious death of the first soldier which 
England furnished to the holy army of martyrs. More 
than fifteen hundred years hâve rolled away since, as 
he hasted to the place of his suffering, he crossed, on 
the seventeenth of June, the channel of the Ver : but 
there fancy again assembles the fiery crowd, and the 
fierce soldiery bearing with them one whose firm step 
and radiant countenance bespeak the hour of his 
triumph nigh.—Anon, the group vanishes, and we see 
only the glassy river calmly pursuing its course through 
smiling meads, with tufts of Forget-me-not, and other 
Summer flowers blooming brightly on its margin, and 
“ anew in shadowy glory,” in the clear deptlis of the 
stream.
