'Mid fighting thousands, and 'mid thousands

Their eager ivords promifeuous carnage blend,
And.ghrtlly deaths their raging course attend,
Her mighty pow'r the fubjedt world fliall fee,
For laurel'd conquest waits her high decree.
See, her bold vessels ruling to the main,
Catch the fwift gales, and Sweep the wat'ry plain;
Or led by commerce, at the merchant's door,
Unlade the treasures of each distant Shore;
Or arm'd with thunder, on the guilty foe
Rush big with death and aim th' impending

Bid ev'ry realm that hears the trump of fame,
Quake at the distant terror of her name.

Wak'd from dead slumbers effix thousand years:
While clouds of darkness vail'd each cheating

To savage beasts and savage men a prey.

And peace and plenty bless the golden days.
In mighty pomp America shall rile,
Her glories threading to the boundless Ikies:
Of ev'ry fair, die boasts th' adembled charms,
The que m of empires and the nurse of arms.
