NOVEMBER, 1806

Another year!— another deadly blow!

Another mighty Empire overthrown!

And We are left, or shall be left, alone;

The last that dareto struggle with the Foe.

‘ Tis well! from this day forward we shall know

That in ourselves our safety must be sought;

That by our own right hands it must be wrought;

That we must stand unpropped, or be laid low.

O dastard whom such foretastedoth not cheer!

We shall exult, if they who rule the land

Be men who hold its many blessings dear,

Wise, upright, valiant; not a servileband,

Who are to judge of danger which they fear,

And honour which they do not understand.
