BISHOP BLOUGRAM'S APOLOGY.
His ground was over mine and broke the first.
So let him sit with me this many a year!"
So let him sit with me this many a year!"
He did not sit five minutes. Just a week
Sufficed his sudden healthy vehemence.
(Something had struck him in the "Outward-bound"
Another way than Blougram's purpose was)
And having bought, not cabin-furniture
But settler's-implements (enough for three)
And started for Australia—there, I hope,
By this time he has tested his first plough,
And studied his last chapter of St. John.
Sufficed his sudden healthy vehemence.
