They fried in the sun, and died.

UNVEILING THE MONUMENT.

I.

The monument stands, no longer the care

Of mallet and chisel and plummet and square.

With a flourish of trumpets and rolling of drums

The glad hour comes

When the statue above it will loom unveil’d.

Lo, now the crowds that are under it sway;

The bugles are sounding; and look!—away
