Chorus and Glee . Adapted to the Music of a Chorus in Der Vampyr by Marschner . ( Tutti . ) Lion of Britain ! arise in thy glory , And scatter the foes that would hold thee at bay : Lion of Britain ! it runs in our story How thrice thou hast trampled such hunters as they . Forth from thy covert once more they have broug-ht thee ; But quakes their own ground with the weight of thy tread : Burst are the toils where they fain would have caught thee ;—O ! lie thou not down till thy last foes are fled ! ( Soli . ) Where is the hero that thought to bestride thee ? And where they that helped him with stirrup and rein ? On , in thy freedom ! who dares to deride thee—Who muzzle thy mouth , and who plunder thy mane ? ( Tutti , ) Lion of Britain , &c .
( Soli . ) Rouse not thy wrath , nor in slumbers forget thee , But calm in thy freedom thine empire maintain ; ( Tutti , ) Cease not thy watch ! some are left to beset thee;—O ! spend not thy glance and thy thunders in vain ! Lion of Britain ! the hunters have sought thee ; But quakes their own ground with the weight of thy tread : Burst are the toils where they fain would have caught thee . O ! lie thou not down till thy last foes are fled 1 H . M .

In general , the situation of our public mind is little known out of France . There is not out of France an enlightened foreigner who will not feel extremely amazed at what has taken place in Paris ; and , to take an example , what Englishman will not stare with wonder when he learns that the citizens of Paris , twenty-two months after the glorious three days of July , 1830 , have calmly submitted to see the capital placed under military law , in complete defiance of all constitutional and
