of gallows or wheel Bore they marks, or the mangling anatomist's steel ? No, by magistrates' chains 'mid their grave-clothes you saw They were felons too proud to have perish'd by law : But a ribbon that hung where a rope should have been, 'Twas the badge of their faction, its hue was not green, Show'd them men who had trampled and tortured and driven To rebellion the fairest Isle breath'd on by Heaven, Men whose heirs would yet finish the tyrannous task, If the Truth and the Time had not dragg...'d off their mask. They parted but not till the sight might discern A scutcheon distinct at their pinnace's stern, Where letters emblazon'd in blood-colour'd flame, Named their faction I blot not my page with its name.
1828.
STANZAS TO THE MEMORY OF THE SPANISH PATRIOTS LATEST KILLED IN RESISTING THE REGENCY AND THE DUKE OF ANGOULEMR.
BRAVE men who at the Trocadero fell Beside your cannons conquer'd not, though slain, IN THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM 191 There is a victory in dying well For Freedom, and ye have not died in vain ; For, come what may, there shall be hearts in Spain To honour, ay embrace your martyr'd lot, Cursing the Bigot's and the Bourbon's chain, And looking on your graves, though trophied not, As holier hallow'd ground than priests could make the spot !
