This is 110 land where cowards may
Stifle the breath of liberty.
Strike off her bands This virgin queen
Must never writhe in prison chains ;
While strength her quivering nerve retains,
She strides erect with godlike mien.
Sons of the 1100, 00100! the land
That gave you birth, implores
Your aid to guard 1100 rights and shores
From grim oppressions troacheroue hand.
Not mustering squadrons from afar
Her sacred rights and peace invade,—
Her guardians have her trust betrayed,
And plunged her arms in civil war,
For Sim our sires in battle stood,
TheFe rights that only freemen know;
For these they vantinished many n foe,
And oft expired in seas of blood.
For these our deathless Cromwell fought
For these our Hamad 011'S blood was shed;
These costa Stuart Ring his head,
And shell we let them go for nought?
How long shall Britons hesitate ?
And Mar the brand their souls should

Burst from your shackles and bo great.
Recline on martyred brothors' graves •,
Th' oppressor's sniffing crimes condone;
Tho world may say, "This land alone
Has sons 111 only to bo slaves,"
The franchise is a nation's might,
It makes and keeps a people free;
It speaks with just authority
It walla about the foot of Right.
And like the loud, careering blast,
It trumpets forth its firm decree—
The people's will shall sovereign be—
And hurls oppression back aghast.
Awake 1 E'en now the despot's grasp
Is clutching at this sacred power.
Arise I Or sleep another hour,
And wake at freedoms latest gasp.

To fan rebellion in the west,
That ye may pillage all the oast.

Arise, friends of your country, rise 1
Join hands and beams in one grand cause,
Redress her wrongs ; protect her laws ;
And prostrate all her enemies.
