Close let my sheaf of arrows stand; My mighty battle-axe now bring; My ashen spear place in my hand; Around my neck my buckler sling. Let my white locks once more be pressed By the old cap of Milan steel; Such soldier's gear becomes them best - They love their old defence to feel. 'Tis well! Now buckle to my waist My well-tried gleaming blade of Spain My old blood leaps in joyful haste To feel it on my thigh again. And here this pendent loop upon, Suspend my father's dagger bright; My spurs of gold, too, buckle on - Or Seward dies not like a knight." 'Twas done. No tear bedimmed his eyes - His manly heart had ne'er known fear; It answered not the deep-fetched sighs Of friends and comrades standing near. Death was upon him: that grim foe Who smites the craven as the brave. With patience Seward met the blow - Prepared and willing for the grave.

John Doran (1807 - 1878), miscellaneous writer of Irish parentage, wrote a number of works dealing with the lighter phases of manners, antiquities, and social history, often bearing punning titles, e.g., Table Traits with Something on Them (1854), and Knights and their Days (1856). He also wrote Lives of the Queens of England of the House of Hanover (1855), and A History of Court Fools (1858), and edited Horace Walpole's Journal of the Reign of George III. His books contain much curious and out-of-the-way information. Doran was for a short time editor of The Athenaeum.
