Of Mona, where thou lov’st to rove,

List’ning the echoes of thy Druid quire;

The ling’ring sounds that yet respire

Waked by the breezes of the Western main;

And bring some high and solemn strain,

Such as was heard that solemn day

When Rome’s dread Eagle stoop’d to prey

On Mona’s free-born sons, while Liberty

Struck on the magic harp her dying song.—

Dealing vengeance on her foes,
