ACROSTIC SONNET.

Firm and mistaken as Gibraltsr's rock,
Round whose broad base the surging seas contend,
And fret, and break In foam with their own shock,
Nor seattle the adamant where they expend
Keeps't thou thy station, while foul factions beat,
Like angry billows against thee in vain;
In their own impotence their fate they meet,
Nor leave on thee impress or stain.
Proudly thou stand'st, the chosen Of the free,
In Independence on thyself relying,
Ever the peoples best prosperity
Regarding faithfully, all else deserving;
Constant to principle through veal or woe
Each pairiofs friend and every traitors foe
