Boston Transcript. II was written in the
Album of a young Lady who requested the
great Statesman TO write bis name in her
little treasury of great names, under the
autograph OF lafayette
ssDear Lady, a little fear
IT'S dang rous 10 be writing here.
His hand, who babe Eagle fly,
Trust his young wings and mount the sky,
Who bade, across the Atlantic tide,
New thunders sweep, new navies ride,
Has traced, in lines of trembling age,
His autograph upon this pags.
Higher than that Eagle scars,
Louder than that thunder roars,
His fame shall through the world be sounding,
And DER the waves OF time be bounding,
While thousands, as obscure as i,
Cling to his skirts, he still will fly,
And spring to Immortality
lfby his name write my own,
Twin take me where | am not known,
The cold salute will meet my car,
pray, stranger, how did you come here's
