T? HEN Discord high her sable flag unveil'd, And British fury drew the fatal sword, * Wide o'er the plains, from Concord's deadly field, The conflict raged with many an inroad gored rl Till now the Sun, declining to the main, Forsook the circuit of the ethereal way, And slow evolving o'er the carnaged plain, Sulphureous vapors dimm'd the falling day ; Th' encrimson'd rays in mournful splendor rise, And tinged with blood ascend the curtains of the skies. THE first thirteen stanzas of this ode we...re composed in 1777, after the capture of Burgoyne and his army ; the conclusion was ad- ded in 1778, on the expulsion of the British forces from the conti- nent to Staten and New- York islands, after the battle of Monmouth. * At the battle of Lexington. f the battle swerved With many an inroad gored. Milton. 13* 94 THE GENIUS II. The savage tumult of the battle o'er, On that fair hill, near Boston's fated strand, That rears her beacon in th' aerial tower, Rose the sad Genius of the Western land.
