A SINGLE WREATH ENTWINE.

[_]

LINES ON THE ALLIANCE OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

France and England, great in story,
Fighting once for separate glory,
Now their valiant hosts combine,
In sacred band, round Freedom's shrine.
And when, in mingled might,
They triumph in the fight,
Separate chaplets need not be
Hence, to crown the victory:—
A single wreath entwine.
