Americans arrayed and armed attend; Beside battalions bold, bright beauties blend. Chiefs, clergy, citizens conglomerate,— Detesting despots,—daring deeds debate; Each eye emblazoned ensigns entertain,— Flourishing from far,—fan freedom’s flame. Guards greeting guards grown grey,—guest greeting guest. High-minded heroes, hither, homeward, haste. Ingenuous juniors join in jubilee, Kith kenning kin,—kind knowing kindred key. Lo, lengthened lines lend Liberty liege love, Mixed masses, marshaled, _Monumentward_ move. Note noble navies near,—no novel notion,— Oft our oppressors overawed old Ocean; Presumptuous princes, pristine patriots paled, Queens’ quarrel questing quotas, quondam quailed. Rebellion roused, revolting ramparts rose. Stout spirits, smiting servile soldiers, strove. These thrilling themes, to thousands truly told, Usurpers’ unjust usages unfold. Victorious vassals, vauntings vainly veiled, Where, whilesince, Webster, warlike Warren wailed. ’Xcuse ’xpletives ’xtra-queer ’xpressed, Yielding Yankee yeomen zest. PRINCE CHARLES PROTECTED BY FLORA MACDONALD. All ardent acts affright an Age abased By brutal broils, by braggart bravery braced. Craft’s cankered courage changed Culloden’s cry; “Deal deep” deposed “deal death”—“decoy,” “defy:” Enough. Ere envy enters England’s eyes, Fancy’s false future fades, for Fortune flies. Gaunt, gloomy, guarded, grappling giant griefs, Here, hunted hard, his harassed heart he heaves; In impious ire incessant ills invests. Judging Jove’s jealous judgments, jaundiced jests! Kneel, kirtled knight! keep keener kingcraft known, Let larger lore life’s levelling lessons loan: Marauders must meet malefactors’ meeds; No nation noisy non-conformists needs. O oracles of old! our orb ordain Peace’s possession—Plenty’s palmy plain! Quiet Quixotic quests; quell quarrelling; Rebuke red riot’s resonant rifle ring. Slumber seems strangely sweet since silence smote The threatening thunders throbbing through their throat. Usurper! under uniform unwont Vail valor’s vaguest venture, vainest vaunt. Well wot we which were wise. War’s wildfire won Ximenes, Xerxes, Xavier, Xenophon: Yet you, ye yearning youth, _your_ young years yield Zuinglius’ zealot zest—Zinzendorf zion-zealed. CACOPHONOUS COUPLET ON CARDINAL WOLSEY. Begot by butchers, but by bishops bred, How high his honor holds his haughty head! ADDRESS TO THE AURORA, WRITTEN IN MID-OCEAN.
