that looked down and witnessed the Signing
of the Declaration—the same sun that pkirc

wrapt in their fiery folds the combatants of
Bunker Bill and Brandryino—the same anon
that lifted the black pall from the death

The 4th of July—glorious‘and memorable

and pleasure of an iron-hearted,, rusty-aqui

lavished their treasures and spilled their

of tho hand That signed, is still, [taking
up the declaration] the high souls that exe

they have gone from among un to sleep peace

by his patriotic toils, blossom and hear fruit
