Abstract
English Tribute to the Boers. (William Watson.) Unschooled in letter and in arts unversed; / Ignorant of empire; bounded in their view / By the lone billowing veldt where they upgrew / Amid great silences; a people nursed / Apart, the far-sown seed of them that erst / Not Alva's sword could tame; now, blindly hurled / Against the march of the majestic world. / They fight and die with dauntless bosoms crushed. / Crazed, if you will; demented, not to yield / Ere all is reft! Yet, mad those these may be, / They have striven as noblest Englishmen did use / To strive for freedom; and no Briton he / Who to such valor in a desperate field / A Knightly salutation can refuse."
