Next let us speed to yonder sainted plains,
By mountains screen'd and crown'd with dulcet canes,
Where the mad Ouragan in phrenzy roars,
Affrights the Isle, and desolates the shores,
While many a rill and flow'ry vale between,
Smile in the storm and reconcile the scene:
See, there an Hero of the Negro line,
Boasts an high Feeling, Briton, proud as thine.
