THE AGE OF BRONZE.
by LoRp BYRON. lcO"e'"ieil
Alas, the country how shall tongue or nen
Bewau her now uucoun.ry gentlemen
The last IL bid the cry of warfare cease,
The FIRST 10 make q mnlady Of peace.
For shat we're all these country patriots horn
IN hunt, aud vote aud raise the price Of corn
But cora like every other NOR nj thin, must fall
kings, conquerors, and markets most OF all.
Ana must We fall with eYety oCgrain
why would YOU trouble BpnaParte's reign!

AMI lower wheat 10 such despunding quarters
Why did you chain him yun isle so lone
-. 'e man VAS worm much more upon hi throne.
True, blood amt treasure boundlesSly were split,
But what of that! the Gaul NAV bear the guilt;
h"t bread was high the farmer paid his way,
Amt acres told upon the appointed day.
But where i now the guodiy audit ale
The pursc-proud tenant never known q, fail
lhe farm which never yet was left on hand

The doubling rental What an evils peace
Ia vain the prize rxcites the pioughmanS skiil,
~ vain the Commons pass tLe,r patriot bin;

The phrase much better leaving uut the iandD
The land seI-iuterest groans tr6u, h.rc to shore
FOR tear that plenty NhOdld attain he p or
Up up again We rents, exaIt y"Ur notes,
Or else the Ministry will lose their votes,
And Patriotism, So dcicatev nice

AN hpuEht remains oi all ,le millions spent,
Excepting TO grow moderate and content.
Lhey who are not ~, hal their turn-and turn
About s,iil flow, from Fortunes equal urn;
Now let their virtue be its own reward
And share the blessings which themselves prcpared
See these ing,oriIus Cincinnati swarm
Farmers OF war, Dictaiors OF the farm!
