Ahl thoti first born•of Freedom's sons,
A dreadful plague of Wrath and biped
Now sweeps across proud array
Of noble deeds and dismal pride; .
- While black and dismal night
Decloinif thy youthfill brow. A deadly
`Hydra of ignoble birth, and basest life
Now eeeksio tear - the-glorions_garb,
• That like a 'mighty 'nand° shields
Tbis bright, lobe stet of hope. •
•
'Tis fierce revenge, and 'selfish pride—
The bane of Kingei end mart
Who reckon not the happiness
Of other men; but gloat o'er
Wild ambition's . path of blood— -
That lit the blazing torch of war,
And must we say ivhen years • , •
Have passed away, and Nature
Mira's again in all her loveliness, .
Thy men, high::minded men;
Nay cringing dupe; - I=&vpheld
And justified the act. E'en so— '
Though eff the foal and •
Damning let is hid by
Flimsy cries for Peace. Thou traitor,
Why seek hide by heinous sins
Neath Virtue's cloak, when miry act •
Of thy vile hands seem* burdened
With eternal proof of thy black guilt.
Think not that men who.know full w ell
..The dignity that we bath attained',
Will ening from duty's glowing path
To, follow such etrange gods, and _
Sing hosannas to thy shame.
No, but every patriot will find
In thee a subtle , viper, who would
" Sting the very parent:Of - their
—BlThngth, and glciry the poison
Of their wrath. FtexiiinitY will •
' owl their deepest ~cursea back
O'ec thg black execrated name;
And shed such tears upon ,
'Vby tomb, as we are wont
To weep for Cain.
