When with his royal seal the slaves had sealed each urn, He ordered his three sons to take their choice in turn. Upon the golden vase the word Empire was writ; The haughty-word resplendent groups of jewels stud. The eldest grasped the golden urn. and opened it,— But shrank in horror back to find it filled with blood! The word Glory upon the amber vase shone bright; The luring word fresh wreaths of laurels cluster o'er. The second chose the amber urn,—pa thetic sight!
