our troops as they marched past on their wav "a
Rockville the other night, said that we had the
finest army in the world but that no soldier could dc

soldier was allowed to carry, and far more awkward

cato's Speech over his Dead Son.

Thanks to the gods my boy has done his duty.
Welcome my son! There, set him down my friend,
Full in my sight, that may view at leisure
The bloody corse, and count these glorious wounds
How beautiful is death, when earned by virtue!
Who would not be that youth! Whit pity it is
1hat we can die but once to save our country!
why sits this sadness on your brow, my friends?
should have blushed if Cato's house had stood
Secure, and fourished in a civil war.
Porcius, behold thy brother and remember.
my lie Is not thy own, when Rome demands it!
When Rome demands itl-but Rome is now no more!
The Roman empires fallen! o! cursed ambition >,
Fallen into Cesar's hands! Our great forefathers
Had left him naught to conquer but his country.
Porclus come hither to me. All my son.
Derpairing of success,
Let me advise thee to withdraw, betimes,
To our parental seat the Sabine field,
where the great Censor toiled with his own hands.
In humble virtue, and a rural life.
There liVe@etired; content myself to be
securely good.
when vice prevails, and impious men bear sway.
The post of honor is private station.
Farewell, my friends Ifthere be any of you
" no care not trust his yictors clemency,
kno~' there are ships prepared by my command,
Their sails already opening to the winds,
That shall convey you to the wished-for port.
Inc conqueror draws near once more, farewell!
1t e'er we meet hereafter, we shall meet
In happier climes and on a safer shore.
where Caesars never shall approach us morei
There the brave youth, with love Of virtue fired.
VINO greatly IN his countrys cause expired,
Shall know he conquered! The firm patriot. then.
Vino made the welfare Of mankind his care.
Though still by faction, vice and fortune crossedg
