II

Wake, Caledonia! though Macauley, Whigging,

Would ward the flames from scarring William's face,

So that, then, Cain might shriek,—here, take my place,

A fugitive and outcast, with no digging

To hide in, nor a rest for my fatiguing;

The mark on me, is but God's finger trace;

On you, 'tis God's whole hand!—Still, there's the blaze!

There's England's soul of merciless intriguing!
