Rouse, Lion of England ! or stripped of her glory, Britannia shall be as the proud one of yore ; Fallen, fallen to the dust, and renown'd but in story, All nations shall fear her, shall woo her no more ! V 47 THE SONG OF ISAIAH. A rARArilRASE FROM FORTIETH CHAPTER OF ISAIAH. Fired with prophetic zeal, the holy man Swept his impassioned harp, and thus began: — Fear no more Israel th' avenging rod, Oh ! comfort ye my people, saith your God ; Speak unto Salem peace ; behold at last Her strife is e...nded and her warfare past ! No more the hills shall mourn in steril woe, See in the wild the verdant pasture grow ; O'er the par^h'd sod the limpid stream shall bound, And smiling plenty decl: the steril ground : The desert paths the bending vine shall bless, The full-ear'd corn shall crown the wilderness; 48 SONG OF ISAIAH. The silent vales shall pour their grateful lays, And the still woods be eloquent in praise ! Oh, Zion ! teeming with celestial joy, Let the blest tale your grateful harp employ ; Quick to the mountains speed with willing feet, Go seek ye trembling Israel's dark retreat ; Lift up thy voice, oh, Salem !
