But it was not hia voice that prompted the cry I
Noe bis madness that kindled the brand;
He raiaed not hia arm, he defied nol hie foes
While a leafon Ihe olive remained ;

He struck with firm courage the blow of the brave,
But siifliccl o'er the carnage that spread;

Tho' he l.ircvv back the fetters and headed the atril'e,
Till man's charter WM fairly restored,
Yet he prayed for the moment when freedom and life
Would no longer be pressed by the swoid.
