THE CoRTEs OF SPAIN,
A Spanish National Song.


We lay bound meath the feet of our foes,
Till the night of our grief passed away;
For the glorious dawn that i'll Isa arose,
Gave hope Of promising day.
Twas beam so transcendenty bright,
1t illumined the nquisitors's lair,
TIL hsfell engines crumbed to dust in the light,
And the monk rent his cowl in despair;
And our bards woke the harp soul-cheerng stran
As the bright of liberty rose upon Spain.
But the monarchs have marked us for spoil
They are lcagued in the strength Of their pride,
And they the bruised lilies to plant in that soil,
Where The violet withered and died.
They vaunt that their first battle-cry
win herald poor Liberty's doom
And their I'D KITE thinks in that sky,
Where eagle was shorn of his plume.
Come, chiefs, drain the goblet again and again.
ITO Liberty's bulwark, the Cortes Of Spain!
Shall we bend to the Autocrat NO!
Shall crouch to the Muscovite hand ,
No! swarm Of guerilla shall dart on the foe,
From each corner and nook Of the land
They may come like cloud from the north,
And the ice.girdled shores of the poles;
Or bodies may sink meath the Of their wrath,
But they never shall fetter our souls
Come, chiefs, drain the goblet again and again,
To Libertys buiwark, the Cortes Of Spain
