That's akin to wboteoever
Is lit enmity with God.
It has wrought upon a pnrtioD
Of the people uf the land,
Till they almost think they're honet
in tho treason they have plunu'd.
It lias struck the sea with rapine,
It hag tinged its blinres with blood,
And it rolls and surges inland
Like a desolating Hood.
It has rent the nuurubt kindred .
