S. silently thou .bearest all thy grief * oo-prord to groan-thou'art a hero stilli N.t thino the lip to suo for meroy ; no, oet thine the heart to quail before thy doota; thy sencs of honor rtr too high to tico As coward Colon fi on, the dungeon walls. 'I by wasted frain and pale wan ohook alone Are tokens of thy inward agony. thy fato than ours oweo dark, we love theo still As when the fay-wreath crowned thy hope ful brow. As obloftaln then, we almost worshipped . thee, Whein ithy care our infant nation lay - As child in arms of watchful sire; and nqw, We cannot love thecless when, for our sakos m Thou hast n prianu only, for thy liona. ' The thirsty blood-hounds of a Northern limne Are oraving thy life's blood. Their cruelty iemains unsatisfied while thou hiast breath, The gllmmerhig hope of futuro liberty, Their iy hearts would quenoh--oxitlingly Would view success in , all their demon's work. roor fallen hero I Are thero none to raise Thy powerless limbs ? Thy yoke that crush. es thee t on thy people; they have lOst. their strength., But o'on among thy country's t'ormor toos.

Oar ehorished horo, and exert. his swn That Tyranni may yet lie crushed to ,- - And Freedom proudly lift again heriead.
