The old laws Of EnglAnd-they
Whose reverend heads with age are gray,
Children Of wiser day;
And whose solemn voice must be
Thine own echO-Libestyl
On those who Arst should violate
Such sacred heralds in their state,
Rest the blood that must enSue;
And u win pos rsss on you.
And ~ then tyTAHts dare,
Let them ride among you there;
Slash aud stab, and main, aud heWj
What they like, that let them do.
With folded arms and steady eyes
And h1tIe fear, and lees surprise,
Look upon them ~ they slay,
TIL their rage has died away;
Then they will return with shame,
To the place from whence they came,
And the blood thus shed will speak
In hot bfuShsG on their cheek.
EveEy WoaAn In the land
Win point Ak them a. they stand
They win hardly dare to greet
Their Acquaintance in the street;
And the bold, true waTriorS,
Who have hugg'd danger In the ware,
win turn % those who would Be frees
AshamsA oe suoh base company;
And that Slaughter 70 the nation
Shall steam up Hike inspiration,
ElOquent, oVaeular,
4 volcano heard sfsfj
And tn % WoFds shall then become
Like oppFesSinu,s thuudeT'd doom,
Ringing through each heart and bTainI-
Heard again-again-again.
RiSe like lions after slumber
In unvAnQuishable number!
Shake H0tr ehAina to earth, like dew
witch iAsleep had fallen on you:
Ye ere nsany-thsy Ere few!
