Chapter LXXX

Text size

Greece gathers up again her glorious band!
With FREEDOM'S loud hurra the Andes quake!
It swells, like ocean's wave, from land to land--
Bless them, our Father! for thy children's sake.
They strike the noblest who shall strike the first--
Wailing and prostrate, Tyranny accurst,
Convulses earth with his fierce agonies;
But, if ye strike like men, the fell dictator dies!
