 Stern ruler of chi1al oas Trance!
 Her idol in the snpire shrine:
 Thine eye was bg the Iigsinins's glance,
 And thunder was that v0iee of thine! Thy warrior-beel's Titanic tread Shook earth. and oceans sunless bed.  Upon that cold and marble brow
 Genius engraved is seal of power; Thy seep.re made eath's moaarehs bow,
 And near thy foosstooi basely cower That glory,tipp'd tri-soIored crown With rainbows wreatlsd--was thine, alone, Sword of the Lord. Averaging rod!
 Stern Justice grisl thee with might To do the bidding ofthy God,
 And battle for JehGah's right; Beside thy course of fn and blood The grim destroying ss':ei stood!
 Beneath, red seas Of ava swept
 Above, thine eagle darken'd Heaven; And millions in tb"ireuor wept,
 As crown and eross in turn, were riyen. As mists before the breking day Times ancient Ianl- -an xks passed away Arts, letters. fore andseience stood,
 Like stars on battles murky sky, Pale. gleaming oa thssea of blood

 Hath France fosgOiihy potent name Whence rolls that fiane around each tower,
 To gid thy moauPnts of fame Will that wild shout wEch reuds the air Arouse the Lion from ks lair'
 Thy tomb is rent iaroeon.
 The worlds greatcaptain lives once more; Proud France hath Ilacei her seal upon
 What her brave EsheFs did of yore. The brightest star tha geEs thy crown Was brought hy Frsc1oa. 'sangei down. Strike once again, aIustious France.
 With earthquake hear uPse, each throne, Whose arme3 helofs dae advance
 To make tho eaase kings their own. The cry of tyranHy in fear, Is music pealed in FtFedomS ear.
 Iris done. Great Fauee, with helm and shield
 For human rigia on her own soil Hath s,ruek-nor vill her millions yield
 To crowned heas and seryile toil Her banners crimson rom the igh; Float in the cause ot 'qual right
 Louder than thuHdS, OCT the seas
 Thy shouts of ttnph shake high heaven; Nor shall the war freedom cease
 Till tyranny fros earth be driven; To break the opprssse's iron rod, Is but obedience 10 ihlGod!
