Amid these wrecks OF ugc how sweet 10 stray,
- steals pale tm light DER the blush of day,
Anu see, along these evening tinted walls
Where t.e tail shadow lcnethrus rs it falls,
SiiI spared by time, yon storcd shaft appears,
Cray with the triumpls of a thousand years;
There in The conscious majesty OF insight
The FQh'r Monarch stood in clouileSs light,
Aud from his dwelling in the deep blue sky
Hcheld the vanqushed world beneath him lie.
'k, sides, svclls the sculp,ued strife,
tich warrior image starting into life;
The serried rhaanx, and the light armed band,
Ihcir eagles gittc ing foreign strand;
Here whc-rubcd priests in long procession lead
The victims destined to their gods to bleed:
DiSdaining slavery, there the Dacian foet
Seeks death ani ,tCCdom in the .larser's blow!
Aud tow ring IN the midst, yom kncy FORM
n"e o'a-S'r''che' arm directs the battle storm
lIXcd MS firm step, and high unaltered uiei,
Stern as wars god yet awluly serene.
Where er he moVes, destruction marks the way,
Nor walls ""' woods, nor waves, his hosts stay.
M WIN, as some wintery torrents echqng roar
Rolls the dark war on Listers iated shore;
hhigitcd Dacic nies, nor now avail
Her tempest footed sceds, and linked ,pni,.
stu press the victors n with sudden dread
10. Danube, starting from his scdec Grid bed
W o'a ring, bchods tho crowds that throug his food
AN" siam his angry streams with native blood
1och Wee my sons o Rome!-thy matchIess power,
In the full blaze of thy meridian hour;
Dot where are now thy conquests and Thy pride,
ny steci,clad hosts that sweed wars sweeping tidce
On those free rocks where seamed the patriot blade
Yet mid thy setting, still some pa rnc ray
Tells OF the brightness OF thy former day.
immortal Eomau! each time -haIlovved place
Bids pausng memory all thy rctrace,-
Though now thy form by bigot rage o'eriroy.r
on pillar bears an image its OWN;
Ify trophies gathered from the wel-ought field,
ihat Mi recording Nictory's pictured shicIlN
w hile virtue awes, while vaor has lis uraiss
Shall still command each rising hcro's Gazc
Dad his young spitit catch the inspiring flame
And soar to deeds that rival Tranjans fame
