Russia is plotting, and will soon spread forth her eagle wing ! Her navy is preparing, and important political events may be expected to claim the attention of all Europe:— Time rolls on, and dire oppressionShall receive a serious lesson !The mighty lever takes a turn—Again the flames will fiercely burnUpon the borders of the north;From thence, proceeding to the south :And eastern news of direful kindShall cause amazement—more behind !Yet accusations shall enforce,And reveal a venal sourceOf dire ambition—on a rockShall be felt the eastern shock!Amid the ocean one will go,And like Napoleon sink with woe;Less deserving—his conditionWas for fleeting joys—ambition!The dice will rattle, and the lossWill one on shores of quicksand toss;A venal hero seals his fate—A blot to honour and estate. Thus speak the harbingers on high ! Time, on its rapid motion, will, I fear, fatally illustrate the rest. The Royal Merlin. 389ILLUSTRATION, No. XLVI.Text Appearing After Image:CIRCLE V.—SECT.
