I dined at the Club of the Selkirkshire yeomanry, now disbanded. "The Eldrich knight gave up his arms With many a sorrowful sigh." The dissolution of the Yeomanry was the act of the last ministry. The present did not alter the measure on account of the expense saved.
The drums were all silent the arsenals were all shut; the roar of the canon had died away to the last reverberation; the armies were disbanded; not a single army confronted us in the field. Ah, he was too eager, too forgiving, too kind. The hand of conciliation was stretched out to him and he took it? It may be he should have put it away; but was it a crime to take it?
