Fatal Land ! —It ever lms seemed Heaven ' s judgment to make thee a foreigner ' s prey . A foe , to whom no offence tliou didst j / ive , At thy banquets insultingly s'ts himself down , And reaping where thv foolish children have sown . From ihy sovereign ' s hand plucks the sceptre awny .
And foolish the foe ! was happiness e ' To tyrant , oppressor , or murderer Lriven ? No ! 'Tis not the vanquished alone sheris the tear ; For sadness soon follows a conqueror ' s joy . Not always , tis true , does the vengeance of Heav ' n In the midst of his haughty career strike him low ; But it marks , awaits , and watches him too , And clutches his soul as he breathes his last si ^ h ! of
Created all in the imai ^ e Go ;! , All children by one great mercy crown'd , Where ' er on earth we may have our abode , Where ' er the blest breath of life inhale , Brethren we are—by one tie bound , Accurst be he who would break that tie — Who oppresses the weak with tyranny—Who makes one immortal spirit bewail !

" The unanimity of opinion and purpose , however , is at length broken We must be consoled and content with the wonder tihat it has lasted so long . It was too much to expect it could endure for ever . Alone , and clad in the severe garb of philosophy , . equally armed and adorned with classical style and quotation ,
