Pass we the horrors of thy princes slain,
Pass we where lovely woman falls unspared;
Pass we where brutes o'er heroism reign,
While red-eyed Revolution wildly glared.
My Muse disclaims each deed of crime or glory,
But what alone relates to British story.
Pass we where lovely woman falls unspared;
252
While red-eyed Revolution wildly glared.
My Muse disclaims each deed of crime or glory,
But what alone relates to British story.
