ODE.
BY DR.. PERcIvAL.

When our Patriot Fathers met
In the dark and trying hour,
While the hand of Britain yet
Pressed us with its weight of power,
Still they dared 10 tell the foe,
They were never made for slaves
Still they babe the nations know,
They were free as oceans waves.
Yonder is the glorious hill,
Where their blood was nobly she'd
Never with a frner will
Hearts OF fire emen beat and bled.
Shall the Son forget his Sire
Nc--the admiring world shall see
High pillared tomb aspire,
Like tower of Liberty.
Now the arch of empire swclls
Proud and daring, fixed and strong:
While the hand of ruin tells
Nations. that have fonrished long:
Loftier the temple springs
Telling on its front sublime,
How it scorns the rage of kings,
And the wasting tooth of time.
From its high and lifted brow
See it sends Weakening light,
Where world is slumbering now
In the shades of eastern night:
They snail feel the quickening fire.
Rise and run to NEE, the day,
And their hearts shall never tire,
Till their chains are sent away.
None shall ever rashy dare
Lift his hand against this shrine,
While its pediment shall bear
Names, SO honored and divine:
High above the sacred band,
There in light unfading set,
Like twin stars of glory, stand
WAsHINsTGN and IAFAYETTE.

We shades OF martyred heroes,
Who rallied here in fight;
Whose hearts Of oak the onset braved
That shook old Bunker's height;
Who, with your WARREN, proved yourselves
The SPartans of the field -
Here We stood-here your blood
Freedoms sacred chapter sealed;
Here to Liberty your pledge ye gave,
And the sacred charter sealed,
Where Britain launched her lightning,
On Havoc's wing that swept;
There, reckless of the fray, We still
The van of danger kept -
Unawed by tyrant power, We then
Your usty sinews steeled
In the might-of your right,
When we Freedoms charter sealed;
When submission proudly We forswore,
And the sacred charter sealed.
We brave, in death triumphant,
In Glory's rest that sleep;
Your country shall your ashes guard,
Her watch around you keep -
Your Spirits here that walk abroad,
Have not unheard appealed
From the Sod where We trod,
And the sacred charter sealed;
Where ye gathered with your hardy few,
Aud the sacred charter sealed.
Here fond Remembrance fingers,
Onyour renown to dwell;
And Gratitude DEGREES the Pile
Where We devoted fell -
Where, prodigal of life, We met
Your heritage to shield;
Be the SPOT meier forgot
Where ye Freedoms charter sealed,
W here the earnest 10 be fee We gave
And the sacred charter sealed.
Behold our Nations Champion,
WHO shared with US the fight:
Behold he comes your shrine to bless,
To mingle with the rite -
In peril's hour, the righteous sword,
Who dared for us to WELD,
When we broke Thraldom's yoke,
And our indie pendence sealed;
When to arms each hill and valley rung,
And the noble cause was sealed.
Your fame, ye patriot Fathers,
Enrolled Oh Glory's page,
Shall live beyond -he Pyramid,
And brighten on with age;
The deeds your valor wrought shall be
From sire to son revealed,
Where we stood-where your blood
Freedoms sacred charter sealed;
Where to Liberty your pledge was given,
And the glorious cause was sealed.
S Bunker HI Monument Its proud
summit shall brighten with the morning,
frSt beam, and the evenings last ray
it shall glow with still richer and pure
light III speaking their deeds who repost
beneath it.
