Of shame like this takes blood to wash it off,

And thus it shall be cancell’d! Call on me,

When the stern moment of revenge is nigh.

Pro. I call upon thee now! The land’s high soul

Is roused, and moving onward, like a breeze

Or a swift sunbeam, kindling nature’s hues

To deeper life before it. In his chains,

The peasant dreams of freedom!—Ay, ’tis thus

Oppression fans th’ imperishable flame

With most unconscious hands. No praise be hers
