JENNY LISp's Reply TO NICHOLAS.
Go back thou tyrant of the North
Thy gold can buy no song from me!
The Swedish minstrel came not forth
To charm the Courts of Tyranny!
would not tread thy palace halls
While Poland's blood lies dripping there;
Nor chaunt within the lofty walls
Where Hungary shricks in dark despair!
Go hang your gems on cour,icr-slavcs!
Go plant them on your Cossacks graves
Go! strew then mid your Turkish throng!
From JENNY LIND they bribe no song!
