"United States, your banner wears, Two emblems, one of fame; Alas, the other that it bears, Reminds us of your shame. The white man's liberty in types, Stands blazoned by your stars; But what's the meaning of your stripes, They mean your Negro-scars" were at the time continually running through my mind. Arrived at the door, and we received what every one does who visits Dr. Lee a hearty welcome.
"Man is an imitative animal," continued Reay. "The deeds he hears of, whether good or bad, he seeks to emulate. In bygone ages crime existed, of course, but it was not blazoned in headlines to the public. Good and brave deeds were praised and recorded, and as a consequence perhaps as a result of imitation there were many heroes.

Drake's humor was greatly tickled, and he and his officers kept asking the Spaniards to translate the motto again and again.

Morley and his lads traced their way down a corridor to the winding steps of the Round Tower, and forced their way into the muniment room of the castle. It was not till his search had nearly been abandoned in despair that he found the small blue box blazoned with the arms of Valence.
