Take heart, thou lone one! a champion leaps to defend thee,
Armed with the loftier issue, the art and the moral,—
Eloquent lips, and the integral heart of Conviction,
Powerful still when the arm of the spoiler has crumbled,—
Doctrine of Right, and the Old-World tradition of Freedom,—
Doctrine of Justice, thank God, no New-England invention,—
Known to the ancients, known to the gods and their poets,
Known to great Tully, whose pillars of perfect marble
Stand in the temple of Truth, his remembrance for ages.
There shall thy record be, Knight of the wronged and the helpless!
