Beside the fence they saw their comrades cope
With those who would fore'er the star of hope
Eclipse behind the slavery cloud and say:—
"Thus Monarchy subdues her rebel prey."
Although the fields were red they would not grope
But dared the "Glasgow," dared the lance, the gun;
And, founders of a nation, boldly sought
On Prospect's brow the rest so nobly won,
While other lands the blessed tidings caught
Of daring deeds by "mere provincials" done,
