. Poems: containing The retrospect, odes, elegies, sonnets, &c. , the warrior cryd, We fought with swords, he said—he dyd. Jomsburg Hfts her lofty walls,Sparta revives on Scandinavias shore; Undismayd each hero falls,And scorns his death in terror to deplore. Strike, Thorchill, strike ! drive deep the blow, Jomsburgs sons shall not complain, Never shall the brave appear Bound in slaverys shameful chain, Freedom evn in death is dear. Strike, Thorchill, strike ! drive deep the blow, We joy to quit this world of woe; We rush to seize the seats above, And gain the warriors meed of happiness and love. The destind hour at length is come,And vengeful heaven decrees the queen of cities doom;No longer heaven withholds the avenging blow From those proud domes whence Brutus fled; Where just Cherea bowd his head,And proud oppression laid the Gracchi low: In vain the timid slaves oppose. For freedom led their sinewy foes, [ 102 ] For valour fled with liberty;Rome bows her lofty walls,The imperial city falls, She falls—and lo, the world again is free!
