SHAKS.: _3 Henry VI.,_ Act iv., Sc. 1.

=Fraternity.=

There are bonds of all sorts in this world of ours,
Fetters of friendship and ties of flowers,
And true-lovers' knots, I ween;

But there 's never a bond, old friend, like this,

WORDSWORTH: _Sonnet. It is not to be thought of, etc._

Oh, FREEDOM! thou art not, as poets dream,
A fair young girl, with light and delicate limbs,
And wavy tresses gushing from the cap
With which the Roman master crowned his slave
When he took off the gyves. A bearded man,
Armed to the teeth, art thou; one mailed hand
Grasps the broad shield, and one the sword; thy brow,
Glorious in beauty though it be, is scarred
With tokens of old wars.

No strife nor pang beneath the sun,
When human rights are staked and won."
760
WHITTIER: _The Watchers._

When Freedom from her mountain-height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.

=Freeman.=

He is the freeman whom the truth makes free.

COWPER: _Task,_ Bk. v., Line 733.

=Friendship.=

I count myself in nothing else so happy,
As in a soul rememb'ring my good friends.
763
SHAKS.: _Richard II.,_ Act ii., Sc. 3.

The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd unfledged comrade.
764
SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act i., Sc. 3.

Oh, be my friend, and teach me to be thine!
765
EMERSON: _Forbearance._

The friendships of the world are oft
Confederacies in vice, or leagues of pleasure.
766
ADDISON: _Cato,_ Act iii., Sc. 1.

Two friends, two bodies with one soul inspir'd.
767
POPE: _Iliad,_ Bk. xvi., Line 267.

Officious, innocent, sincere,
Of every friendless name the f
