Or fillibuster to recover.
The Patriots genial warmth is fed
Heart burnngs rage
Passions engage
And ties divorced which safety we'd
The seats where heroes sat and famed
A healthy glow in all the land
Are 6lled by men who clamor for the righ;
And feh to meet but only NEE. to fight
Virginia sons with hurried step
Gird on the FURNISHED bayonet
10 guard the spo; of all on earth
That claims peculiar charm;
The graves Of kindred and the hearth,
Where life's first currents warm,
'Gainst Browns crusade
And factisn's raid.
The dollar race is not won,
Nor schemes Of plunder all undone--
The Bulls and Bears still thirst for gold,
And they who buy are they who're sold.
These things he reads--lamerts the signs,
And pens this lesson of the times.
Our destiny grave statesman fear,
Will darken each succeeding year,
Till civil feud
And factions brood
Shall close in shame her bright career.
Like Greece, the favored of the wise,
Her honor valves, dissolves and dies;
Or Rome, great in her ancient name,
Whose every rocks a tongue,
With mournful accents hung,
Mute watchers of her widowed fame.
But, oh my country, compromise,
Do all but honor sacrifice,
Ere servi'e discord hope bellies,
What honor, safety, right dictates
What is the policy Of States.
Still brighter glories for thee burn
Than yet encircle nations urn,
The march of Liberty and Law
Is on thy shores old vorlds's awe
fTis ours to watch the strife Legun,
Where kingdoms may be lost and won,
But vail the haPless fate Of those
Who fall the prey Of guilty foes.
Can human tongue in coldness tell
How Hungary strove and Poland fell,
Ths envied prize
or base allies?
Great God! is such no moral harm
Where nations parcel nation
As tradesmen would farm
Tear down the ensign Of the brave,
Their rights dispute and sons enslave
Because they re fsw-by want oppressed.
Though weaker-holier than the rest.
Ave /! cankers have love fer thrones,
And meanest worms shall fat upon earth 5
kings,
Gods Justice yet shall walk alone
Andpride be humblsd by the nerve tstrings
The bondman's hope, and nations cheer,
Are typed in US and rooted here,
For sterner eyes the death smoke curled
'Tis ours to float the stripes unfurled,
Amid the throes which change provokes
Our constant faith our cause invokes,
Great is the doubt and fercer is the strife
For claims contested on the battlefield,
But harder to direct where'creeds are rife
Great wisdom only human rights can shield
May mad ambition ever find
This land i'll suited to her kind;
She never yet was rich to bless,
Like pampered ease sure balks success,
Great deeds might deck the storied page
Now black with tales Of phrenzied rage,
Deep shadows in the Past might be
A blaze Of Immortality.
But this dread mocksry Of soul
Lures on the race nor finds the goal.
The Patriots love inspire our zeal,
And enterprise snbahce our veal;
Then sublime mid plenty shall our State,
arise,
Though polite tempests scour polite skies
Bays yet unworn our name shall wrsathe
Tyres yet unstrung our fame shall breathe
Through us TO Heaven the praise shall be
When man steps forth nnawed and free
His country's pride, his makers boast,
To justice wed--to error lost.
And this he added. with peculiar Joy,
God bless the NATION, Press and
CARRIER BOY.
