Like age to youth, by mem'ry's burnish'd chain Of varying links of pleasure and of ])ain. 8() past events, when years have roll'd away, Will live iu mind's interminable day. On Time's fair Morn, when pleasure's sweets expand, And love and friendship carol hand in hand. Mine )>c the still recurring task to call. From time elapsed, momentous things to all ; Paint Britain crailled upon Freedom's ro'^'c, Niirs'd by the storm and strcngthen'd by the shock; 'J'oiicii on the lyre a Puian to the brave Who bled on land and coaqucr'd on the wave. Far o'er yon wave that skirts the tropic sky, On Iticid jiinions fame and conquest ily ; Tell to the list'ning Avorld the gladsome talc, That Britain conqner'd and that Gallia fell. * Tell how each bosom burn'd, each heart beat high, And vivid vengeance llash'd from every eye ; When from each fort the trembling foe withdrew, Like loathsome mists that shun the solar view ; And how, at length, their dastar'd lives to save. Conceded all the honors of the brave. In Naples' bay, when blighted by her fire, Full fourfold numbers lied tho Spartan's ire. + Or shall Amboyna to your mind recal A Briton's glory anti a Despot's fall ! Or Bourbon's fate where Albion's banners wave, The type of Freedom to the eastern slave. Nor ytt confin'd to Neptune's watery reign, Are Albion's laurels, which her heroes claim ! Busaco's vales and mingling hills can tell In Britain's sons what daring valor dwell ; When rank near rank in awful silence drew, Nought felt but vengeance, nought but death in view ! But short tho combat, soon the strife was o'er, Proud Cialliii's S(jiiiuIrons shun'd th' avenging power, And as she vicw'd her heroes bleeding lay. Felt her arm wither and her strength decay. J Imperial Britain ! still i\\y sons shall swell ^ii'"^ The page of conquest, where their actions dwell J^^^\ Still shall thy thunders roll to strike with dread ^•rty The haughty desput and his servile herd ; P^i: Still shall thy fleets, as Carthage did of yore, Crow'd every sea and circle every shore, Glide far to bear beyond the bounding wavo Death to tiie foe and freedom to the brave. Gigantic France, tho' Europe bears thy chains, And thou stalk'st lawless thro' thy bleak domains, Tho' humbled Denmark owns thee for his lord. And stubborn Sweden trusts ihy faithless word • Pf^"^ Tho' supple HollaHd, dead to honor's call, (?i|l|^ Smiles at her fate and glories in her fall ; \^\^T^ Tho' Russia, lloundering in his oozy bed, Grunting consent, seems born without a head ; Yet thou'rt not safe, thy rigid knees must bcud. Thy strength depart, thy glory have an end — For still Ibeuia spurns thy proliVfr'd chains 1 In Freedom's caute, Lusitauia remains ! Thy barks no more on ocean's bosom glide. Catch the fresh gale nor stem the bounding tide - Ta'en are thy fleets, thy commercn is no more. And trade lies slumbering on ihy sullen shore. Still while thon strid'st to universal sway. Bleak mountains rise to clog thy doubtful way. Thy toils increase, thy race will ne'er be o'er While Rose & TiiisxtE blooai on Britain's shore ! m * Ciiiitiire of Giiddiikuve. ibjent if seutriil riatcU j)rivat€eri ship 'Sfjarluii. in the bui/ of iWin/cj. liy the But while the Old World's tragic scenes we view, Oppression's banners tlicker in the new : Where yonder river's turbid waters swell, Lave the high steep and gush along the dell. There chain'd by freedom, murm'ring in his chains, The tan'd Floridian to his sire complums, And prays that vengeance, with her llaming brand. May right his wrongs — emancipate his land ! But ah, in vain ! beset by wily foes, luEKiA faint, can only weep his woes. — Yet tho' assistance does not hover ni^h, To mark each toil and hear each suffering cry, Columbia, vaunt nut ! tremble lest thou break The Biagic spell — the Lion may awake ! * For dark thy views and motley is thy mind, A trcach'rous Tiger and a fearful ilind. With rapid march, by bright improvement led. To worth and wealth our infant soil hath sped. Adown our stream, that courts the northern main. Float mighty forests, natives of the plain ; Along our banks, where erst the desart frown'd, Art and industry gladden all around ; And o'er our jilains the waving corn is seen, The hamlet safe, and cottage on the green. To him be praise who holds, with clement hand. The sword of justice o'er this happy land ; At whose fair name foul Envy hides her head, yiiiil hell-horn factions f^cl a conscious dread ; His deeds shall live, his name shall ne'er depart. For Patriot Craig 's engrav'd upon each honest heart. • Alluiling to the scheme set on foot by the wise lieaJs at Wusl>in"tOH to seize the I'loridas, CANADIAN COURANT OFFICE,") AIoNTHEAI., JanuAUY 1, 1811. )
