That Ward might be diverted from the height, Fearing himself a sally on his right — And hence the triumph met a partial blight. Th' exploding vessels and the mounds on flame, Convulsive shook the elemental frame. When Prescott heard the opening thunders break. He in the confidence of valor spake : " Hark ! they at length ou...r labors have descried — ' At all our works they range across the tide, ' The morn has drawn the veil of secrecy — ' And now we'll prove us worthy to be free !
