For wars scarce heavier burden: slvsgely,

For freedom, some-for dospots, nors-shsll rush
To fsats OF glory, or TO deeds OF woe;

In future harvssts skies with IG ms TEEN,
And through the aghted masses knoWe3ge spread her

A gasping babe on some italian breast
Mere thing Of Misunderstanding to foreshow
The giided halo Of the bsros crost,

How would they gioat to fnd his secret nook
To strangle Freedoms Elglet 10 bis nest
Crush the soft germ OF her o'srshsdowipg oak,

Who now may roam, boy, round Homers Isle
Guide pilgrims thro' Thermopyss defle-
Or daily QlBf the brook by Marathon.
On, may he not, like Corsics Giant, pile
Europe with corpses TO ascsnd-a throne
Hiding bis patriot wreath beneath the crowb

Had not upleash'd Ambition sEoop'd at Right.
And rodlike G .niu, own'd false Glory lust
Ya-Fe edom's chosen son betray'd her trust -
How his fame shrsnk when arst his eager hand
