When it shall blaze with sun-surpassing splendor,

And the dark mists of prejudice and falsehood

Fade in its strong effulgence. Flattery’s incense

No more shall shadow round the gore-dyed throne;

That altar of oppression, fed with rites

More savage than the priests of Moloch taught,

Shall be consumed amid the fire of Justice:

The ray of truth shall emanate around,

And the whole world be lighted!

This will do.
