THE LEGEND OF PRINCESS TIRANA.
120
[“We are free, we are free]
“We are free, we are free;We are waves of the sea,
And we love liberty!
Day after day, day after day
We wear the rocks away;
The rocks which wall the caves,
Where toil the wretched slaves.
Strike hard, O slaves, and be,
Like us, forever free!”
121
[“We are slaves, we are slaves]
“We are slaves, we are slaves,
Poor toiling slaves are we;
Toiling forever in the caves,
Listening forever to the waves,
That sing forever, ‘We are free.’”
Poor toiling slaves are we;
Toiling forever in the caves,
Listening forever to the waves,
That sing forever, ‘We are free.’”

MONA'S SONG.
“In a castle by the sea,Lives a lady of high degree;
She hath silver, she hath gold,
123
Prince Liber, Prince Liber
Will come o'er the sea!
“In her glittering marble halls,
There the silvery fountain falls;
In her dark and loathsome mines,
There no sunlight ever shines.
Prince Liber, Prince Liber
Will come o'er the sea.”
132
[“Oh, the good Prince Liber]
“Oh, the good Prince LiberWill come o'er the sea.
In the great white ship he sails o'er the waves,
He hears the sad cry of the toiling slaves;
He will set the bondman free,
He will give us liberty!”
