When mad Ambition driving wild her car
From state to state, had scarcely 1, ft a spot
Sacred to Freedom—en yon glorious field
Her desolatinrcourse was cbeck'd. To thee,
Stranger ! if virtue warm thy breast—lf bate
Of yianny be thine—if glowing love
Of Home, or Country—that immortal flame
(Not with the Spartan lost) which ent achiev'd
So inany memorable deeds, inspire
With noblest sentiments thy manly breast.
Then SALAMANCA'S day to thee shall be

I I

An nALLGWED day.
For many a year
Flu•h'd with unceasing victuey—with arms—
With all the nicest stratagems of war
Familiar, and with glory satiate,
, The Gaul advanc'd e'en to th". very spat
Where, Traveller, thou treadest: Here he met
DEFEAT and foul DISGRACE. The Roman fire,
The Grecian discipline, that Britons join,
' Swept his proud ranks to ruin. Stranger, mark,
He fought with Freemen ! He no longer met
The weak, the trembling spear of slaves. He eroueh'd
_ Beneath the sinewy aim of Libel iy—
• . - Beneath th' inspiring mind the Goddess pours
ExruussAsst lIOLT

• Here fell—
. • 'Mow gloriously here fell, a noble band
Of British Youth, whose battle shout that day
. Was " Danru, or VICTORY 1" Their country rears
To their immor: al memory this pile;
And. or al3ritoo or a Spaniard, thou
Wilt rot refuse the tributary tear
. To those who, dying, couquer'd Gallia's troops,
t L. phane,4l the foul tyrant, Spain front fetters sav'd,
And bade admiring Europe dare be free !
