X.

’Twas you, oh, Goddess! whisper'd to the throne,
To bid your fav'rite fight the gen’ral cause;
His parent-king’s, his country’s, and his own,
And be—what e’era mighty hero was:
Warm’d by your fires, tho bleak the frozen tkies,
He quits the arms of eafe, and on to vengeance flies.

XI.


Rebellion now precipitates retreat;
The Duke’s advances, Treason’s hope confound;
Their conscious hearts anticipate defeat,
And Cumberland bears millions in the found:
The trait’rous bands to native wilds proceed;
But justice can purfue where ever guilt can lead.
