Where winter ever reigns, and checks relentless
The breath Of liie-prolifck swarm thy slaves!
Thou nodd'st Thy sable crest, and the huge globe
Is drench'd with seas of human blood. Thou bldd'st,
And brother springs in arms 'gainst brother; SISTER
Denounces sister; and the tender mother,
Fiercer than tigress, on her offspring preys!

The world, and slaughter grim bestrdes the ocean.
