POETRY.
From the Petersburg R< publican.
Toe following beautiful and alk ct
ing vei sos were written by a lady
of Frankfort, K--n. on the depar
ture of the volunteers ol that
place tail Augutt, to meet tin ir
savage foes. She was, a!as! too
prophetic—For many, many of
thole brave patriots, have fallen
fighting heroically for the liberty
of their country.
Protect them heaven ! wy /mitering
ton.uc
Could scarce to hi aval the prayer
address.
For <il)l the heart pern owhich it
‘/rung,
Felt the Keen pressure of distress.
It “huct for Jr tends to distance borne,
L)tparted neve/ to rctui /;.”
() freedom! must thy sacred tree,
Be nourish'd still with tuirs ZS? blood,
Must our expiring kindred be.
Around thv reeling altars r freived?
( Jh , whence proct ah thin. cii>i ul>>ms
Oh! 7ch\ this sad appall to inns?
Hark, thro’ the forest*s da p recess.
Resounds the nl! of uiv. g -.car ;
Onward the fra. t r legioas pie ;s,
Shut h mg distrust ion from afar*
Su ycndi r cot mJI imc ascends,
Andyor.de r be your butcher *dfriends.
A rah., ho supplies the murd'rous steel?
Aml who pupares the base reward,
Th it wakes to di cds of desperate zed
Tht fury of eachi lumbering horde?
F> an In i tain comes each fatal Mow ;
From Britain , sidl our deadliest/■■?.
What! do not ocean*s wide domains,
/Iff.ad her sons sirfpeiem prey?
hut mint thy sub these distant plains
slnd bribe the sw age to bi tray ?
? ir.r, Free Jem,' he re thy banners wave
And hire would Britain mark thy
grave.
Then go, ye gallant wan t..-s, go,
Arrest dcstruc'ion* ; swift carreer ;
In mighty vc.,granct crush tin foe ,
And bid your hidden sti t ng*h app: nr
Ihi swot and which lingering justice
dr a ws,
Will surely guard a righteous cause.
Then. Freedom, if thy sacred tree,
That be sustained with fears & blood,
P. risk the tyrants of the sea !
per ish their allies of the woo l!
Put Heaver, dir at each pair it arm,
And shield cads patriot bread from

And if the hero -field; his breath.
Great God ! receive his parting sigh ,
And cal! him from the realms of d.ath
To purir mansions in the shy !
And sweetly m :y his ash s rest,
By all his country's wishes Fa si !
