06 GENERAL WASHINGTON.
SEETreedoraVeqfigns glittering waves un
r furl'd, •
There flump'd in gold appears the hero’s name,
nWbo& deeds are ecchoed round the admiring
' world,
And distant ages (lull record his fame.
’Twas his to stem the dreadful tide of war ;
’Twas hi* to teach the battle where to rage,
With founding pinions, victory (hades his ear,
4 His legions eye him eager to engage.
Calmly he views each army’s dread array,
And feemß hi/mfelf the bulwark of the field ;
His Ikill superior turns the doubtful day,
His fbes were Britons, long unus’d to yield;
Death circling flew around the enfanguin’d
plain,
There fate with fury drove her mad’ning car;
With human gore the clotted wheels diftain’d,
; And view’d exulting all the wade of war.
The tide of blood Which late o’erflow’d the
field,
Fann’d by the breezes, ftiffens in the glade,
A brother’s with a brother's is congeal’d,
Apd Tons of Britons are with Britons laid.
The battle fini(h’d and the carnage o’er,
The vanquith’d fee him and confefs his worth $ j
His eye averted, (huns the flood of gore,
- iThe noblest Hero and heft SON of earth.
