    STANZAS occasioned by the EXECUTION op GENERAL R 1 EGO , Ungrateful Spain ! Riego ' s gone—Can lives like his be given in vain ? Was it for nought thy gallant son , The last of Spaniards , * died for Spain ?—Go , hail , before yon iron throne , The royal traitor ' s abject

    reign—Forget , forgive , a realm undone , The stranger ' s sword , the vassal ' s chain I But no , wrong'd land ! it cannot be—Thou wert not made the clime for slaves :

    Thou yet hast sons who feel for thee , Whom the yoke bows , but not depraves . The stranger ' s eye from far may see There sleeps a storm on Spanish waves : The lordly race will yet be free ,

    Or proudly rest in freemen ' s graves . What though along their lovely land The venal Gaul his steed has driven , To bind again with ruthless hand Her chains , for one bright moment riven ? Her gray Sierras still command A thousand scenes to glory given , Where Freedom ' s flag will yet be fanned By all the winds of smiling heaven !

    Riego ' s gone—and Spain once more Obeys a princely reptile ' s nod , Who claims ( the tyrant ' s only lore ) The right to wrong the world of God : — A meaner miscreant ne ' er before

    On God ' s free world to scourge it trod : Alas , that such liave power to pour The blood that stains a despot ' s rod I * It was , I believe , C . Cassius , who was called Uttimus Romanorum .

    the heroes of antiquity , to which the present course of education propels there p they shall take Jesus Christ far their pattern : —ivhen , lifee him , men shall think it more honourable to submit with patience to a blow , than to return it with interest .: —when men shall prefer the approbation , of God , to the admiration of their fellow-tneu ; or , in a word , when they become Christians : —then

    * will they beat their swords into plough - shares ; ' and ' nation will not rise up against nation , neither will they learn war any tnore . This * Sire , is the language of prophecy ; and in the application of it , and of the precepts of Jesus , I trust that * / have spoken forth the words of truth and soberness . '' "—P . 30 .
