There on the walls the patriot's sight 125 May ever hang with fresh delight, And, graved with some prophetic rage, Read Albion's fame through every age. Ye forms divine, ye laureat band, That near her inmost altar stand! 130 Now soothe her to her blissful train Blithe Concord's social form to gain; Concord, whose myrtle wand can steep Even Anger's bloodshot eyes in sleep; Before whose breathing bosom's balm 135 Rage drops his steel, and storms grow calm: Her let our sires and matrons hoar Welcome to Briton's ravaged shore; Our youths, enamour'd of the fair, Play with the tangles of her hair, 140 Till, in one loud applauding sound, The nations shout to her around, O how supremely art thou blest, Thou, lady--thou shalt rule the west! FOOTNOTES: [21] Alluding to that beautiful fragment of Alcæus: Εν μυρτου κλαδι το ξιφος φορησω, Hωσπερ Ἁρμοδιος κ’ Αριστογειτων, Ὁτε τον τυραννον κτανετην. Ισονομους τ’ Αθηνας εποιησατην. Φιλταθ’ Ἁρμοδι’ ου τι που τεθνηκας, Νησοις δ’ εν μακαρων σε φασιν ειναι, Ἱνα περ ποδωκης Αχιλευς, Τυδειδην τε φασιν Διομηδεα. Εν μυρτου κλαδι το ξιφος φορησω, Ωσπερ Ἁρμοδιος κ’ Αριστογειτων, Ὁτ’ Αθηναιης εν Θυσιαις Ανδρα τυραννον Ἱππαρχον εκαινετην. Αει σφων κλεος εσσεται κατ’ αιαν, Φιλταθ’ Ἁρμοδιε, κ’ Αριστογειτων, Ὁτι τον τυραννον κτανετον, Ισονομους τ’ Αθηνας εποιησατον. ~En myrtou kladi to xiphos phorêsô, Hôsper Harmodios k' Aristogeitôn, Hote ton tyrannon ktanetên.
