THE SETTLEMENT. 109 XXXVI.
Babylon's mound and Egypt's pyramid, And, more mysterious still, the ruins grand In Mexipan old tangled forests hid.
Long ere the conquering Aztecs held that land ; And ancient tumuli of Flat-head Eace — Passed from the world where once it had a place ; — These beckon on, sepulchral in their gloom, Man's feeble races still, and prophecy their doom.
XXXVII.

Yes ; Hope may plant Liberia's sickly tree, And some short years of sunshine it may see ; But in the storms of empires it will fade, Like many a fairer plant that cagt a farther shade.
110 THE MUTINEERS.
XXXVIII.
Then let rich sentimental Sorrow dry Her eyes, unlovely red with weeping, sore With hot tears, shed perhaps too partially ; As if there were but one dark spot, no more.
On every white man's hand — the Negro's chain.
Or, if deep Mercy's font she needs must drain, let her cast one look on suffering pale !
