The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner; and all quality,

Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
Farewell! Othello's occupation's gone!.

SHAKSPERE.-Othello. Act III. Scene 3.

(To Iago.) See Sheridan's parody on these

Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness!
This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honours thick upon him:
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost;
And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a ripening-nips his root,
And then he falls as I do.
