Scattering blessings all around liini,

Tolhe stern Atlantic shore.
As Hie white-winded Hove of Promts
Moved with till suits glad, of yore.
With a sterner mission comes he
To the nations of the Kasl :
Vultures there their beaks are whetlini;
O'er the cry tattle (east.
Thrones are tol'rinK. crowns are shaking.
And the people inntter low.
Words of menace, threats of vonjame.
Aniline for the eoininx blow.
'I he Sultan. In Ilie palace. trembles:
Troubled, too. the ire. throned Car;
Shakes the klntiilom of the llritisli
At the menaces of war.
While the crash of muskets rattle,
And the iioarser cannon's roar.

Urine disnrice upon the Country,
As has each upon him elf.

Now, at least. Is not the time.
When its worth deserves the waits
Of a morn than passing rlivnie.
And we'll note what's worth' the telllnx.
Of events occurring here.
How the Ininilm: of a dwelling
