Like fame their fiery banners wheel:
Rise, King, and arm thee for the warp'
Belshazzar gaz'd; the voice was past;
Tho lofty chamber fll'd with gloom;
But echo'd on the sudden blast
The rushing of mighty plume.
He listened; all again was still;
He heard no clarion's iron clang;
He heard the fountains gushing rill--
The breeze that through the roses sang.
He slept; in sleep wild murmurs came;
A vision'd splendor ir'd the sky;
He heard Belshazzar's tainted name;
He heard again the prophet cry;
Sleep Sulttnl tits thy final sleep;
Or wake or sleep, the guilty dies;
The wrongs of those who watch and weep,
Around thee and thy nation rise."
He started; mid the battles yell,
He saw the Persian rushing on;
He saw the flames around him swell;
Thou'rt ashes, King of Babylon!

Hour of an empires overthrow!
The princes from the feast were gone;
The idol flame was burning low;
Twas midnight upon Babylon
That night the feast was wild and high
That night was lions God profan'd;
The seal was set TO blasphemy;
The last deep cup of wrath was drain'd.
Mid jewell'd roof and silken pail,
Belshazzar on his couch was flung:
A burst of thunder shook the hall;
He heard-but twas no mortal tonpuei
King of the East! the trumpet calls,
That calls thee to tyrant's grave:
A curse is on thy palace walls
A curse is on thy guardian wave,
A surge is IN Euphrates' bed,
That never filled its bed before
A surge, that ere the morn be red,
Snail load with death its naughty shore.
Behold tide of Persian steel,
A torrent of the Medean car;
