,4 WINGED WORDS."
" They were to decide whether or not they should succeed
in increasing their commerce—despite a HAUGHTY AND
CRUEL ENEMY, who treated them with conternot aed cruelty,
merely because he claimed to be a landed proprietor, and
deemed them serfs. . • .. Would THEY LET THE ARIS-
b old
TOCRACY TRAMPLE ON THEM?—(No, no.) If they would
ly struggle . . . —if, becoming bold from their suf-
ferings, they spoke out to the NAUGHTY antsTocriacY—they
would find that they would be no longer plundered.—(Enthu-
siastic cheers. )"—Speech of Mr. O'Connell at the London
Anti-Corn-law Conference, Thursday, Feb. 10.

Lord's of England ! shall God's throngs—
God's peop!e—funing with their wrongs,
Still restrain their righteous wrath,
Nor roll their fiery vengeance forth?
Even now from Tower and Town
Havoc hurls her gauntlets down :
Like great organs, rolled in thunder,
Shaking earth with sudden wonder,
Voices stormy, stern, and gmnd,
Rock the circuits of the land,
Pouring with high voice of warning
Tones that thrill with awful words:—
" 0 men of proud disdain and scorning—
Ere plough-shares sharpen into swords—
Ere the towns with havoc darken—
LORDS OF ENGLAND HEARKEN !"

Lords of England ! hear the cries—
Hear the fearful litanies
Pealing from a million lips,
Who, shadowed sit i' the dim eclipse
Of hunger gaunt, and grim despair;
To whom e'en life and God's blue air
Are burdens past what they can bear.
By the plaints that hour on hour,
Speed for mercy's crystal tower—
By the ghastly starving face
Of children, suffering with sweet grace—
By the all-imploring prayer,
And beaten breast, and streaming hair,
Of pale, mild women, famine-faint,
And strong :nen starved by law's constraint—
By the sweep of strange distress,
Unknown—unmeasured—measurele3s—
By all tears, and prayers, and kneciings,
Ties, and tones, and rended feelings—
Ere some dreadful crisis spring—
Or Panic out her black flag fling--
Or frantic Death your doorways darken—
LORDS or ENGLAND, HEARKEN !
