Tis solitude—tis terror all around ! Grim visaged murder stalks along the

WAR. From Moor's Poems. FOR mad ambition see-- with hell combined, To crush the rights and freedom of mankind, In dread array the ranks her furious host, As when the fierce tornado sweeps The Carribbean deeps,

And strews a thousand keels along the

foaming coast,

Heaven thunders-- bellows ocean-- shakes

the shore.

From isle to isle resounds the loud rough

roar, Wild Defolation rushes o'er the land,

And giant Horror strides from strand to

strand. Thus rushing onward on her clattering car. She sounds aloud the rage inciting song, And leads the Friends along, Rapine, with harpy fangs wide wasting War That lets her blood-hound loose to range before, On human flesh to feed, and lap the gore, Despotic swayf relentless as the storms, And ghastly Death, in all his thousand forms, At her approach the beams of science fade, Freedom and Honor fall, and Virtue hides her head. See her red banners blazing to the sky ! Embattled legions round them bleed and die. See, see her flaming sword display'd ! O'er the green land the waves the blade, And o'er the silver flood ; With horrid devastation wide Blasts all the champion's blooming pride.

And turns the stream to blood.

ing years, Nor palsied age can pity find,

Nor female Grace, nor Beauty's pleading

tears To aught of mercy melt the savage mind,

stern stands the dire assasin ;---" spare, O

spare That infant innocence !"-- in vain the prayer !

In vain the mother's pangs, and piercing

cries ! Fixt on the bloody point it withers, and dies !
