A HYMN OF LIBERTY
Ye sons ',)f Freedom, wake to glory!
Hark! hark! what myriads bid you rise!
Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary,
Behold their tears and hear their cries.
Shall hateful tyra.nts, mischiefs breeding,
With hireling host a ruffian band;
Affright and disolate the land,
While peace a.nd liberty lie bleeding?
To arms, to arms! ye brave!
The avenging sword unsheath:
March on, march on, all hearts resolved,
On victory '.)r death.
Now, now, the dangerous storm is rolling,
Which treacherous kings confederate raise;
The dogs of war, let loose are howling,
And lo! our fields and cities blaze.
And shall we basely view the ruin,
While lawless force with guilty stride;
Spreads desolation far and wide,
With crimes and blood. his hands embracing?
ChorusWith lunary and pride surrounded,
The vile insatiate dispots dare;
Their thint of power and glod unbounded,
To mete and vend the light and air.
Like beasts of burden would they load us,
Like gods W',)Uld bid their slaves adore;
But man is man and who is more,
Then shall they longer lash and goad us?
ChorusOh! liberty can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy generous flame?
Can dungeons, bolts, a.nd bars confine thee?
Or whip thy noble spirit tame?
Too long the world hes wept, bewailing,
That false woods dagger tyrants wield,
But freedom is our sword and shield,
And all their a.rts are unavailing,
Choru'S-
