she forgetteth how, in the old years, The great hearts of her glorious Commonwealth Sent thunder-throbbings through the lands, and gave' them Such a new pulse of nobler life : and when Their sumless Venture wreckt, and o'er them roll'd The wormwood waters of defeat and death, How in their pleading hands they held the Babe And Orphan Liberty, and bade her rear it For love of them, and for its own sweet sake. And England slinks behind the nations now. Dim is her Beacon Despots paled to see Burn o...n them through the dark, like God's stern eye. Her battle-armour rusteth in her halls, And the old mighty arm that struck such blows Tor Bight and Freedom, hangeth listless now. A dry-rot eats her life : her God is Mammon ! God Mars no longer leaps into her heart, As in a chariot driving down to battle. Her ancient fame and valour have become A tale that 's told us of forgotten times — Some fabled Kraken slumbering in its sea ! NEW YEAR'S EVE IN EXILE. 113 ! for the voice of Milton once again, To make the lion-eyes lighten, and her heart As tremblingly alive as is a Star, Till in her naked strength majestical She walkt the sun-road of her glorious way.
