THE PATIENCE OF THE PEOPLE

 ("Il s'est dit tant de fois.") 
 
 {III., May, 1830.} 


 How often have the people said: "What's power?" 
 Who reigns soon is dethroned? each fleeting hour 
 Has onward borne, as in a fevered dream, 
 Such quick reverses, like a judge supreme— 
 Austere but just, they contemplate the end 
 To which the current of events must tend. 
 Self-confidence has taught them to forbear, 
 And in the vastness of their strength, they spare. 
 Armed with impunity, for one in vain 
 Resists a nation, they let others reign. 
 
 G.W.M. REYNOLDS.
