THE MAHsEILLils HYMN.

Methought I heard n million voices break
In one accord to swell this battle hymn;
Methought the myriad Wages grew
grim
And blOod-Veined eyes their vengeance
fircs dd wake.
That every heart impatient for relief
Shook Off the chains of bondage. There
Gre none
So strong as slaves when freedom may be
won.
No despotism Ike that CALLED with grief.
Did liberty nfuse into this song
A heaven peace sIrcharged stll with con-

And picture hope, which only madmen

With prOmDting,5 of the damned to urge
along?
Oh was it thus, or but the voice Of one
GOaded to triumph and inspired alone?
