DRINK TO MOTHER GREECE.

Fill high the wine cup once again
And drink to mother Greece once more,
That land of heroes over the main
A sparkling goblet brimming o'er. .
All honour land of Greece to thee
Thou f0unt Of each ennobling theme
The home Of art and chivalry
Thy sun again doth shed his beam. I .
On thee doth fall the honor now
To make fanatic tyrants kneel,
The Turkish horde again must bow
When Spartan blood doth WELD the
steel.
The blood that held Thermopylae -
Will never brook in bonds to slave, e.
The Greclan hosts shall never flee
While lives the memory of hebrave.
The world looked on while Christians blsd
The worlds great Christian powers that
be,
The world that once by thee was led,
They dared not strike to set them free.
Like vultures, jealous Of their prey,
They watched the quarry hunted down,
And each would bar the others way
Yet fearful of each others frown
Hearing that wild desparing cry
Of outraged virgins unto God,
Or helpless infants doomed to die. 4
BY terror, torture and the rod.
All! Byron, famed, immortal bard
What lightning bolts his pen would FREQ
All other loves heed now discard
Fair Greece! to fight and die with thee.
Yea Greece to thee it doth belong
The CHRISTIANS prayer is thine to night
Fair land of Sappho's burning song
Arise and conquer in thy might. -.
Then fiji the goblet sparkling over,
Drink to those heroes over the.main
For Greece has shown the world once more
That Leonidas lives again.
