The generous Sires beheld the fatal

Saw their young champion gasping on the

They rais'd him up. but to each present

What martial glories did his tongue

The wretch appal'd no longer can

But from the Striking victim turns his eyes — When this young martial genius did

The Tory cheifs no longer could forbear.

Ripe for destruction, see the wretches

In vain he flies, by Justice Swiftly

With unexpected infamy

To lodge it where it shall remove no more.

With Secret rage fair freedoms foes

See in thy corse ev'n Majesty in Death.
