An Austrian army awfully arrayed, Boldly by battery besieged Belgrade: Cossack commanders cannonading come, Dealing destruction’s devastating doom; Every endeavour engineers essay, For fame, for fortune fighting--furious fray! Generals ’gainst generals grapple, gracious G--d! How honours heaven heroic hardihood! Infuriate--indiscriminate in ill-- Kinsmen kill kindred--kindred kinsmen kill: Labour low levels loftiest, longest lines, Men march ’mid mounds, ’mid moles, ’mid murderous mines: Now noisy noxious numbers notice nought Of outward obstacles, opposing ought,-- Poor patriots!--partly purchased--partly press’d, Quite quaking, quickly, “Quarter! quarter!” quest; Reason returns, religious right redounds, Suwarrow stops such sanguinary sounds. Truce to thee, Turkey, triumph to thy train Unwise, unjust, unmerciful Ukraine! Vanish, vain victory! vanish, victory vain! Why wish we warfare? Wherefore welcome were Xerxes, Ximenes, Xanthus, Xaviere Yield, yield, ye youths! ye yeomen, yield your yell! Zeno’s, Zampatee’s, Zoroaster’s zeal, Attracting all, arms against acts appeal! * * * * * NAMES OF PLACES. _For the Table Book._ The names of towns, cities, or villages, which terminate in _ter_, such as Ches_ter_, Cas_ter_, Ces_ter_, show that the Romans, in their stay among us, made fortifications about the places where they are now situated. In the Latin tongue _Castra_ is the name of these fortifications--such are Castor, Chester, Doncaster, Leicester: _Don_ signifies a mountain, and _Ley_, or _Lei_, ground widely overgrown. In our ancient tongue _wich_, or _wick_, means a place of refuge, and is the termination of Warwick, Sandwich, Greenwich, Woolwich, &c. _Thorp_, before the word village was borrowed from the French, was used in its stead, and is found at the end of many towns’ names. _Bury_, _Burgh_, or _Berry_, signifies, metaphorically, a town having a wall about it, sometimes a high, or chief place. _Wold_ means a plain open country. _Combe_, a valley between two hills. _Knock_, a hill. _Hurst_, a woody place. _Magh_, a field. _Innes_, an island. _Worth_, a place situated between two rivers. _Ing_, a tract of meadows. _Minster_ is a contraction of monastery.
