Friends to Republics, cross the Atlantic brine, Low in the dust see regal splendour laid: Hopeless forever, sleeps the Bourbon line Long practis'd adepts in the murdering trade! With patriot care the nation's will expressing Republicans shall prove all Europe's blessing, Pull from his height each blustering Noble down And chace all modern Tarquins from the throne. [64] I have found this only in the 1795 version. ON THE PORTRAITS Of Louis and Antoinette, in the Senate Chamber[65] Discharg'd by France, no more the royal pair Claim from a nation's love a nation's care: Their splendid race no more a palace holds,-- While Louis frets, Antonietta scolds; Folly's sad victims, fortune's bitter sport, They take their stand among the "common sort," Doom'd through the world, in sad reverse, to roam, Perhaps--without a shelter or a home! To shew our pity for their short-liv'd reign What shall we do, or how express our pain? Since for their persons no relief is found But cruel mobs degrade them to the ground, To shew how deeply we regret their fall We hang their portraits in our Senate Hall!

"These large and elegantly framed _pictures_ [of the King and Queen of France] arrived at Philadelphia in the ship Queen of France, being presents from the king. They were set up in the large committee-room of the senate, at the south-east corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets--thence went to Washington city, and were burned, I believe, by the British under General Ross."--_Watson's Annals of Philadelphia._ TO A REPUBLICAN With Mr. Paine's Rights of Man[66]
