So then, the name which travels side by side
With English life from childhood-Waterloo-
Means this. The sun is setting. -Their strife grew
Till the sunset, and ended,� says our guide.
It lacked the -chord� by stage-use sanctified,
Yet I believe one should have thrilled. For me,
I grinned not, and 'twas something;-certainly
These held their point, and did not turn but died:
So much is very well. -Under each span
Of these ploughed fields� ('tis the guide still) -there rot
Three nations' slain, a thousand-thousandfold.�
Am I to weep? Good sirs, the earth is old:
Of the whole earth there is no single spot
But hath among its dust the dust of man.
