Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...And though the villain 'scape a while, he feels Slow vengeance, like a bloodhound, at his heels. SIR STEPHEN DE VERE. Book III. Ode 3. The righteous man of purpose fixed and strong Scorns the depraved commands Of angry Faction clamouring for wrong, Nor fears the Despot's frown.
