Bid once more your halls rejoice!
Lift once more your arms on high!
Rouse once more at Freedom's voice!

of an adjoining Roman station. This castle, before the in-
vention of artillery, might well be deemed impregnable. It
was dismaatted during the war which succeeded to the sta-
tional opposition to the tyranny of Charles L and his cour-
tiers; but after the reatoadinn of the Stuarts, was repaired,
and inhabited by one of its noble owners, Amor, Cowden. of
Pembroke; and nniii within the Ina thirty years, contained
some noble apartments in an excellent state of presentation.
The roof of the lowest apastment of the Keep exhibited a
"perimen of guilt-work, tqual at haat to ally thing in Due-

some time ago iuteusionally destroyed. This aucient castle
