With swimming eye,Back on the past they throw their mournful looks,And see the Temple, which they fondly hop'dReason would raise to Liberty, destroy'dBy ruffian hands; while, on the ruin'd mass,Flush'd with hot blood, the Fiend of Discord sitsIn savage triumph; mocking every pleaOf policy and justice, as she shewsThe headless corse of one, whose only crimeWas being born a Monarch--Mercy turns,From spectacle so dire, her swol'n eyes;And Liberty, with calm, unruffled browMagnanimous, as conscious of her strengthIn Reason's panoply, scorns to distainHer righteous cause with carnage, and resignsTo Fraud and Anarchy the infuriate crowd.----What is the promise of the infant yearTo those, who (while the poor but peaceful hindPens, unmolested, the encreasing flockOf his rich master in this sea-fenc'd isle)Survey, in neighbouring countries, scenes that makeThe sick heart shudder; and the Man, who thinks,Blush for his species?
