MEDIÆVAL

LEICESTER


BY


Charles James Billson, M.A.

Corpus Christi College, Oxford


In Athens, Sparta, Florence, 'twas the soul
That was the city's bright, immortal part,
The splendour or the spirit was their goal,
Their jewel, the unconquerable heart.

So may the city that I love be great
Till every stone shall be articulate.

William Dudley Foulke
