INSCRIPTION II.

By Robert Southey

Art thou a Patriot Traveller? on this field

Did FALKLAND fall the blameless and the brave

Beneath a Tyrant's banners: dost thou boast

Of loyal ardor? HAMBDEN perish'd here,

The rebel HAMBDEN, at whose glorious name

The heart of every honest Englishman

Beats high with conscious pride. Both uncorrupt,

Friends to their common country both, they fought,

They died in adverse armies. Traveller!

If with thy neighbour thou should'st not accord,

In charity remember these good men,

And quell each angry and injurious thought.
