IN COMMENIORATION OF THE GLottIOUS
BATTLE OE, THE BOYNE.

liow cairn sleep the brave in their cold narrow dwelling
How sad o'er their pillow the wild rushes wave I
While the mute mournful tide, by the grassy mound

swelling,
Rolls slow in the breeze that sighs over their grave.
No more the soft silvery breast of the water
Is burthensd with carnage, or crimson'd with gore :
Nomore the dire dilion of ruin and slaughter.
In gll his wild terror, stalks grim round the shore.
No more the loud tempest of battle is ringing,
No more the sweet valley is shook with alarms,
Vhere. anguish once shrick'd —now the milk-maid is
singing,
And groves shade the hills thgt once bristled with arms.
On this spot the great Monarch, our country's defender,
Exulted o'er Britain's anti Liberty'i foes--
Here heroes illustrious in victory's splendour,
In the bosom of honour, sin-k down to repose.
'Midst the current slow, wheeling, all silent and solemn,
What brave souls ttiere whelm'd in a murky dark grave!
What valiant blood hath'd the rude site of this columni
• That mem'ry invites still to moThri for the brave.
Long, long', shall they liv'e is the annaht of glory,
Tho'.tr.toc'd hi chillli;a shttnher they lie,
,ruellistun that !wars th it p‘othl,toiy,
Shall Webs, their brave meaVry till FiccUora shall die.
