To a Certain Cantatrice.

Part of the cluster INSCRIPTIONS.

TO A CERTAIN CANTATRICE.

HERE, take this gift, I was reserving it for some hero, speaker, or general, One who should serve the good old cause, the great idea, the prog- 
 ress and freedom of the race, Some brave confronter of despots, some daring rebel; But I see that what I was reserving belongs to you just as much as  
 to any.
