The calm, clear wisdom Of Inexperienced age.
Well hast thou placed him, artist, beneath
That vaulted roof, whose arches have seat
back
So oft the echo OF his clarion voice,
Upliftei ever for the right and true.
Here, when deep gloom was brpodihg DER
The realm,
When foreign despots trampled down our
And watering sons within grew paiel W it'll
He reused the ancien. spirit of our homes
T o guard again our ifesides and once more
To keep their affairs nprofaned and free.
And his strong words ike tempests Ger the
Bore on that infant navy whose Young arm
Struck down in many we'll contested fghfnm
Her meteor flag, whose folds Ihad proud
swept
In naughty triumph DER the red waves
OF Nile, the Baltic and dread Trafalgar
Here, when that cry for help fell on his ear
From out the Andes rocky Businesses,
From the green borders of the fair La Platte;
And from its broad safaGnas-how he hailed
With answering voice the supplicating call,
And babe the struggling pa'ions to be free.
Then in prouder hour, with lofter past
When his own country's sword had cloven
through
The sanctity of private rght-he stood
Unmoved amidst the storm Of obliquy
And Kissing hate that ratified round his head
Guarding the civil lEgis of the State
From the rough onset of usurping war.
When Greece, fair land of poetry and song,
Long crushed and bound and bleeding-witlY
her neck
Beneath the Moslems heel,rase up at length.
Stirred By the genius other glorious past
Summoned by voices from the sunny shores
Of Salamis and from the rocky pass
Of terrible Themopyle to shake
Off from her limbs the letters of the slave,
And from her soul the palseying lethargy
OF long dark years. new Demosthemes
Spoke hope and courage to her listening ear,
In tones and spirit worthy of tire old.
Hail! Patriot, Sage and Statesman, on ,hJ
brow,
Tho tickle fortune may not set herseal
A greener garland blooms than any wreath
The maynard Goddess for her minors binds
And in thy hands tho office may not place
Its barren sceptre and its heetng power,
A brighter, better destiny is thine
Than all these empty honors can bestow.
Thou hast thy country's loye-with he.
renown
Thine own is woven, with her name thy name
In union intestructable is bound.
The pages of her history are thine.
And when thy setting sun shall touch the
OF life's horizon, shall nations ewes Verge
Follow in sadness the departing light,
A nations heart thy memory shall embslm,
A nations tongue thy euogy shall speak,
Worthy amongst the worthiest of her sons,
Her dauntess champion & her steadfast friend.
