ODE
FOR THE 25TH OF OCTOBER, 1809,,
Away, away, far, far away,
On t: auspicious day
Be strife and all her baneful brood.!
Let no discordant sound illtlUde
Upon the lestal lay
This day to mirth and joy is given,
And holy gran title to Heaven ;
• Which deigns a nai ivies prayer to hear.
And adds another opening %cal
To grace the lehgtheit'd reign of G ILORGE the Gooti.

Down the rapid stream of time
Many A lAtettil yrar has rol I'd,
Since on W r N r)C3 a's- height sublime
Tnis day an E!,glish Mon,irch told ;
He who declen in Gallia's spoils,
Won by the Sable Warrior's toils,
Rear'tl the ruby cross on high,
The star of Chivalry ;
And rottm. his Throne in lovely order set,
Saw his seven lions ut PLAriTa.c txtr„

Equal i.glories nobly won,
That aecrzrate fair W IN 135011.'S brow,
Begirt alike by kaltaiit son,
Great G zOit•ckE ; Lir hippier thou!
The sweetest gitt of Heaven,,
• Connubial bliss to thee is gyiren;
Nor dost thou like the vidoweci owe% D mourn
A faithful Loosort's totnb—ari•l-tero's early urn( i) !

Whilst friAted Nations pOit for breath
Or fall, rise no more, . .
;And scowling o'er the field iildeath.
Stands GALL! A grist with ore
'l';.y happy islands lift theirMeacis'in.peace,
thc,ugh the finds of war in arlsry chase,
Yell room otti eats, in vain the hell-hounds roar,
'Gainst ok's chalky ci-iffs-and lII'S verdant shore.

"From smocking ruins—sangutn'd plains
The Muse with horror tins iscirted eye;
' A nobler theme demands her strains,
The praise,of George the Good and virtuous Liberty.
Happy People—envied K -•
While howling tempxsts tear each neill,bottring coast,
Where hopes and wart. "tor ever on tha wing,
Flit through the troubled air, and vex each adverse. host,
With mutual love your ire.irrs in concord glow,
'Stith love aS•patriot Kings and grateful Subjeets.ktiow.
From farthest India's glowing clime,
,To where the polar wave
irtto pytarnicts aublime,
Dares the st4r:of day to brave 4
Through niany,a distant Loa.
• Through many a sepaiared isle,
Whose fields' in golden
culture smile,
'Arefelt the blessinges of thy gantian hand;
Where'er throughout' 'th' adin'irirrg world
Thy Navy :pleads the sail
Where'tr thy stand,rd IS unfurl's'',
The blended Crosses waved on 11104 Give freedoM to the gale.

To where.that standani filib the sky,
Does lie but breathe the air tits banners fatr,
Instant his chains are burst, his fetters fall,
