Their bosoms beating with indignant rage.

Just anger! sacred ardour! “There come nigh

Those cruel foes, who hasten war to wage,

And spill our blood, when we reposed secure

Beneath the wings of peace. They who are led

By avarice vile; who friendship’s laws abjure;

Who in their endless tyranny o’erspread

Would hold condemn’d the seas; who to unite,

As brothers, pride and insolence of power

With treachery and rapacity delight;
