Which he had hardened against all dismay,

By foreign hands thy decent limbs composed;
By foreign hands thy humble grave adorned;
By strangers honoured, and by strangers mourned. ~ POPE.

On comes the blast; too daring bark, beware I

Run with Thy crook, and lift in haste
The poor head to Thy loving breast.

The hounding hatred shamed and still,
Go, soul of freedom! take at last
The place which thou alone canst fill.

Of nought save love's sweet happening.
But loud each knight did smiling chide,
Let him but tell of war, they cried.
