Benign infpirer of heroic deed;,
For whom the patriot burn.« y the warrior bleeds,
And fweet-breath'd mintltels > tune the warbling
lyre,
Whose radiant smile
Can Mt6*RY ot her giiefs beguile,
Diffo've the leaden tear of woe,
Bid the pale lip with transport glow,
And crown with laurels green (he barren brow
ol Time.
Parent of golden Peace! celestial maid !
Prote&refs ot each holy tie !
Guardian of right#, bv liberal Hope afray'd,
Blest offspring ot Humanity !
The peopled mart, the verdui'd bower,
Grow in the sunshine ol <hy power ;
Thou from the tyrant's surly brow
Canst chafe the unavailing frown,
Bid the triumphant despot bow,
And drag his purpled honours down,
Canst dnvefrom brooding w ea lth the dreams
of care,
And light with lustrous gems the miduight of
I fee thee on the Grecian plain,
Unaw'd by A/ia' s mvriaa train,
Tl>e felf-devoted Spartan* lead,
Than crowns, more rich, than life more dear
Spring dauntless on the Petjian spear,
And in th' unfetict'd arms of glory bleed :
And now with Roman eagles (bar.
On trophi'd Gaba*s defp A rate held,
Rife o'er unwieldy Ajric's powci,
And bid her Alpine viflo> yield ;
And now on Britain's druid coast
Biave all the latiau world could boast.
I view thee on the Belgic strand,
Firm pillar of the gulphy plain,
That from the bosom of the main
Snatch'd the thin foil, and fpiead the sedgy land.
In life's green hour, and nature's prime,
Thro 1 wide Columbia's vari'd clime,
I fee thy flarry banners flow ;
This hand the olive-bough extends,
While that her p'ny shore defends,
And wards with piereingeyethe meditated blow
In laurel'd majeftv serene,
Puie source of ev'ry boon, in ev'ry age a Queen !
But hark ! the rending prayer of pain /
What female flirieks aflault the car !
And whelm the poet's sacred ft rain,
And start the agonizing teai !
Where angel beauty* prostrate lies,
And godlike genius droops his head,
This by the foul-iefs Traitor dies,
That bv delpotic Faction bl< d !
On thee, mild Power, they madly call,
And all thy great endow ments claim,
Yet on thy mangled graces fall,
Apostate* to thy woiOup'd name !
Say, Nymph benign, wh?t ruffian race
Thy pure uublemifh'd glories ftain'd,
Deform'd thy hrav'n illumin'd face,
And ev'iy vcftal charm prophan'd !
To the vile rabble's rage rcfign'd
The lustre ot ihy poliHi'd miud !
Can Gallia's impious sons defame
The viitues of ihy fainted name,
And heap th' aflafliu's deeds on thee!
While to the sway of crimes alone,
High-seated on a recking thione,
They raise the liccns'd hand, and bend th' un-
Uallow'd knee.
Ah ! fee the fam'd difcov'rer \ bows
That head, by dcathlels myrtles crown'd.
And clasps those daring hands tn vain,
Which the world's circle widely bound.
And trae'd th' immeasurable main,
"thro' realms of parching heat, and worlds ol
withring fnowsi-
On the far ocean's defart shore,
His great advent"tons fell;
Vet mouiu thatfivagc deed no more,
No more that fateful flory tell,
e savage scenes on Gallia's patriot close,
In the warm bosom of repose,
His wile, his children, circling round !
By those, at whose behelfc he trae'd
The hostile plain, the foodlefs wafle,
While ev'ry outrag'd virtue flies,
h'd in his life's rich ft ream, the gallant Sailor
lies :
Pierc'd by ingratitude, to eaith he
bow'd,
While the mad clamours of the thankless
crowd
■ aim'd the fad tribute of each weeping wound
Amid the horrors of that morn
How was thy form degraded seen !
With all thy modi ft veftmenis torn,
How chang'd thy love-inspiring inein !
Around t hat brow 's m <jest c height
ev'ry milt that dames the night,
And midst those locks oi fl «wing gold,
An azure wreath of serpents roll'd,
And Irom that lip's ethereal balm,
And on that bread, with bounty warm,
Fell the red drops of treafui'd health,
W r hich from their rubi'd fountainsflow'd
In gems, whose blushing lultre glow'd
Rich with a Nation's vital wealth.
Theu to the criir.c-devoted coast
Thy tutelary power WdS loft :
In the rafli Defpot'a iranficnt hour,
Ok has thy guardian form appeared;
But midfl mad an arch's deaf'ning roar,
Ne'er can thy seraph strain be heard.

While in thy finile of bounty blest,
