Greedily she ingorged without restraint, And knew not eating death. ON THE MASSACRE IN PIEDMONT. Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughter'd saints, whose bones Lie scatter'd on the Alpine mountains cold ; Ev'n them who kept thy truth so pure of old, When all our fathers worshipp'd stocks and stones, Forget not ; in thy book record their groans Who were thy sheep, and in their ancient fold Prayer in Prospect of DeatJi. 95 Slain by the bloody Piedmontese that roll'd Mother with infant down the rocks. Their ...moans The vales redoubled to the hills, and they To heaven. Their martyr'd blood and ashes sow O'er all the Italian fields, where still doth sway The triple tyrant ; that from these may grow A hundred fold, who having learn'd thy way, Early may fly the Babylonian woe. Robert Burns. A PRAYER IN THE PROSPECT OF DEATH. O thou unknown, Almighty Cause Of all my hope and fear ! In whose dread presence, ere an hour. Perhaps I must appear ! If I have wander'd in those paths Of life I ought to shun ; As something, loudly, in my breast, Remonstrates 1 have done; g6 Robert Burns.
