Yoir follows year, prophetic ns it tiies, Habeas of warnings, warns the next, and dies. Thqtnst for us, wc for the future live, Andtnch succeeding ageita lessons give.

Sec -fiili wlint pride and splendour Egypt glow'd, The luges home and Wisdoms own abode: She are the arts and sciences their birth, Andfpremost stood, preceptress of the earth ; Whi) wondering nations listen’d and obey'd, And reverend homage to her wisdom paid. Butftarcethe dazzling summit had she near'd, Sliejierish’d ‘neaththo glorious dome she rear'd: An/mournfol gloom encircles Egypt’s brow, Hennce-brigh splendour all is faded now; Ant'low she lies, stripp'd of her gorgeous pride, To future times a warning nnd n guide. Gretec, too, forsook the arts her fathers taught, Anilnightier fame in foreign conquests sought ; Wiidom she spurn’d, nnd grasp’d the sword and shield, Andsought instruction in the battle field. Witidecds of war her children’s minds she stor'd, ArnJtaught thorn only how lo wield the sword ; Regirdless she, how truth and science sped, If ghn follow’d where Ambition led. f inwards she march’d with slaughter in her train, Her laurels red with blood of nations slain.— Tliui flourish’d Grecee, and as by wav she rose, By -ter she fell I—a1 —a slave to mightier foes ! - I Wlnre next in search of Reason shall we go, To Borne, the mistress of her age 1 Ah, no ! No nfts she nurs’d, no happiness she knew, Savr when far o’er the world her legions flew; Win her delight, the victor’s shout her joy, Her bliss to conquer, glory to destroy; Whrre’er she turn’d her arms, a nation fell, To nark Iter greatness and her pride to swell ! Andfo the vanquish’d this the choice she guve, Cliaiasor a tomb—submission or a grave/ And (lifs was human glory—but ’tis flown, And Home lins pass’d, aud nil her greatness gone ; Bhe HI, ns meteors full, and darkness cast Her wide mantle o’er the brillinut past. Age filluw'd age, nnd darkness still increas’d— The urts were buried—Wisdom's voice had ceas’d; And virtue fled —nor truth nor hope remain’d; And IjjjtoraUec o’er the earth despotic reign’d ; Justiceand mercy ‘ncath her feel she trod,' 1 And nun’s tribunal was the tyrant’s nod. No annwus raised to check his boundless sway, Till Hcnren in mercy chas’d the gloom away ; Then o’r the darkness, light resplendent shone, And trembling Ignorance totter’d from his throne; His reign was o’er—down headlong he was hurl’d, And PiiiNWU swayed her scepter o’er the world! Airrof all arts preservative she reigns, Shows man his rights, and breaks his galling chains: The clouds disperse, nnd now the dawning morn Proclaims to earth that Luteity was born. * * * * The veil was rent—dumb oracles exposed— The dreaming seer’s prophetic eyes were close’d ! And in then stead, the Prf.sm triumphant’shrin'd, Freedom's palladium in the unfetter’d mind; — Time sifl*iT*rtscourse—the Press still proudly reign’d, Budc man lie free, and ult Ms right* maintain'd; Wisdom’s glad voice in her an echo found, And buried nations heard the hopeful sound. Europe and Asia standing by her side, Behold in her the freeman's hope and pride ; But in Columbia she rears her dome, And marketer choice as Freedom’s only home ; Here, nurse! by her, a guide toother lands, ThetreeofLiberty time-rooted stands; And where her brunches wave, hearts proudly swell, And bless the spot where freedom loves to dwell.

Have they ceased to roaf Against injustice on thy native shore 1 Virginia I Arc the laws thy generous spirit made, Asleep, while the North drive on their stealing trade J Rouse I Rouse, ye States ! Vindicate your laws! Smite, down the wretches! Crush their cursed cause! Henr through our laud, of Misery the cries I As if Pandora ail her plagues supplier Hus Heaven refused to grant its annual store 7 Do fields und flocks impart their gifts no more 7 Does fell Disease her poisoned cup dispense, Or linggard Wnnt steal o’er each maddened sense? No 1 Nature still a liberal hand extends, But man iris curses with her bounty blends. The banks, tlie government, the vexing rule Os politicians taught in mischief’s school. The speculator, striving all to grasp, While vampire usurers tlieir victims clasp 1 Vice and extravagance their reign expand, While overtrading rages round the land! 81 Who speaks the truth? Who has the skill toyhoyf The fountuins whence these bitter waters flow 7 Banking! vile banking is the fertile source Os this fierce torrent, whose impetuous course Has swept o’er every virtue, every rule, And mude the wisest emulate the fool. See mines unopened all their treasures bring, While paper cities ‘mid the desert spring; See poisonous swamps for rich plantations sold, And worthless sands imposed for dust of gold ) Canals, like rivers, to all quarters run, Projected rail-roads travel to the sun ; Project on project fills each teeming brain, And every head is crazed with thirst for gain. Blest paper money ! Those thy glories arc, While thy light wings, like, loensts, fill the air; Blest banking! Nothing can thy power control, While countless dollars from the press can roll. Blest paper credit! Nought thy hands can tie, While printing presses millions can supply. But I must curb Pegasus.
