Accent, great man the poets grateful lays,
And to thy laurels add lis sprip Of BAYS
o! for theme AS bo,indess as Inv fame
A subject worthy thine immortal name;
Vast As the debt of gratitude we owe,
And lasting as the wreath that decks thy brow.

Like Nights black pnons, n9vered Ger the land;
Then Freedoms Sun, great tJd8h'nsfon arose.

Aud when from life's horizon he had gone,
Ills brave compa.rlots with his radiance shone;

In! from ertoWclihg height, Colua5ia bends,
Whose c'oni capt summit 10 We sky asccnds;
Waits on the shore her iLcro's sisd return,

When oceans god appears with ali hs tram,
And boWing owns the MlStress OF the Man;
And now. Gbedient TO her high command,
Escorts the veteran chiettaln 70 the strand;
There freelom glecis him, too, with heavenly men,
And the proud eagle hovers DER tie scene;
There Fame With her resound'ng trumpet stands,
And blow the pleasing meas 70 distant andsi
While Joyous millions gladden. Al the sound,
From northern Alane 10 l4ouisiana's bound;
With gratitude each patriot bosom glows,
And shouts of welcome hail aim rs he gnes
Youth. nianhoud, age, all emulate his fame,
Antl infancy 4 taught to lisp his name.
"NoN lei inc go' the aged veteran cries,
While tears Of gadreas tlickle FROM his eyes
6 Mine eyes have seen him, and go in peace"
Ills cares are banished, and his SORROWS cease:

Nor 10 these shores his hounlless soul confined
The constant freud of freedom and mankind:
His native Gallia owned his guardian hand,
When ruin Threatened her devoted lard
When Win the fate Of realms Eer bosom rose,
He saw her struggles and conclusive throes-
When 10 instead Of heavenly Liberty,
Came forth the hidaous monster Anarchy.
When great AaDqito, in imperial pride,
Advanced 10 empire with gigantic STRIDE;
When hls r.sht band the palms of Asia bore,
The other glasping at Briiannia's shore;
And on the warlike belt that bound his waist,
The crowns offallen monarchies ere placed;
While in The waters Of Inc midland sea,
Girt Min The 8bnr and boot of itay,
Ills foot was fixed lille his triumphant brows
We've crowned with Norway's evel iasng SHOWS:
When proud defiance at mankind he hurled,
And with a voice ofthunder awed the world
Iloid as Ulysses IN The giants cave,
1hy patri,.t arm was fitted still 10 save
Thy cpnntry's freedom in her evil hour,
Unawed by tyrantS, and unoribed by power.
And now when Kings resume their lorner reign,
The grim defender OF Their dark domain,
That triple league--that Cerberus accIIrst
by fear engendered, and by tyrants nnrseti,
Opes his tremendous Jaws, dlsianed with gore,
And howls malignant to Colnmbias shore,
With enyions spite, bcholds My hon0rs here,
And bays thy Star OF Glory from aiar
