To rest each weary 'd form. (Ialt struck the monarch of the wilds. With strong manhood's earnest might ; Dunlop, Prior and the wood nen fell'd It, on that thrice-honored night : For good King George, our patron saint, Made it famous in his day — When chivalry and brave knighthood Held firm undis[)uted sway. (Treat Shakspeare, the prince of poets, Entered this blooming world ; On that same day, in after years — His life in death was furled. Cialt gave England's royal honored name To the then far distant town : Never let ignoble acts or deeds Tarnish its bright renown. ■S^- # % Let us take a retros])Cctive glance Over the then and now : Then forests, Indians and wild beasts, Alone crown'd nature's brow; Guelph of to-day in honour stands — A bright imperial gem, Which our Queen need ne'er blush to own As a star in her diadem. Her Churches, gems of modern art, With their lofty sparkling spires, Leads one to hope that Christian grace. Noble thoughts and deeds inspires ; Her Hospitals are doing a noble work — Where her sick meet tender care From the sisters and nurses— woman's hands Render loving duties there. Her Schools, magnificent structures, stand Wherein intelligence and grace Are cultured by an efficient band. Bright ornaments in any place ; Her Agricultural College, the farmer's pride- There their sons are wisely taught The science of tilling dear old P^arth, With such wealth and beauty fraugiit. 'A home for the aged and the maim. Will shortly lift its head— An asylum for distress and pain, There the helpless may have bread ; Her Ministers, gentle Christian men, : Working in their Master's name : ' : Striving to lift poor straying souls From the de Dths of sin and shame. 1 Her Doctors, men of scientific skill, Stand foremost in the ranks ; For this, their gentle healing art, We yield them warmest thanks. Her Lawyers, men of scholastic lore, Winning laurels and renown : From our Senate Halls, we hear the voice Of a resident of our Town. Her Edit )rial staff are managed by Brilliant ninds and willing hands. Assisted by telegraph and steam engines, Bringing in news from foreign In-iids. Her Courts and Councils are govern'd well, By men of good common sense, Who give their influence and time, Her means and justice to dispense. Her Merchants, kindly courteous men, Stand ready, with bows and sm'les, To lead us gently through the maze Of subtle fashion's changing wiles. Her Mechanics, men of honest worth, A mighty bulwark stand, With gifted minds and simple faith, A tower of strength in our land. Her Farmers, sturdy sons of toil — To them we yield the palm For independence and sweet peace, And fair primeval calm. Her brave Volunteers — God bless them ! — i|^tand ready to defend Their homes at a moment's warning, And their Queen — the people's friend. '.V ■ Hur Dauglittis fill an honored place — Fair maidens, and blooming wives And mothers; Heaven's blessing rest On their self-sacrificing lives. Then come forth, ye aged veterans, Ve early settlers come : I'.njoy the peace and i)leasure Flowing from each pleasant home. Many friends hive fallen in our midst - This is the lot of man : 'I'o love, to labor and to die — Life is such a little span. r)rave (lalt, the founder of our Town, Now sleeps on Scotia's shore ; His kind coUeagues of those early da\s Are known on earth no more. Thus our retrospect is sadly tinged By changes and dire decay : Who will be here, of this vast crowd, To greet Guelph's Centennial day ? Fling sadness aside, let each glad heart Rejoice in laughter and song ; Let kind good will and merry cheer — The joyous hours prolong. 'I'hree cheers for our beloved Queen ! Three cheers for our patron saint ! And three times three for dear old (iuelph. May her brave hearts never faint ! To God Icu each glad homage bring On this bright auspicious day ; 1 .ong may it in our memories ring, Fragrant as the breath of May. ^^^mm t -.*t»^ ■'1B;»(l»
