FEELINGS OF A FRENCH ROYALIST,[172]
On the Disinterment of the Remains of The Duke D'Enghien
Composed 1816.—Published 1816.
One of the "Sonnets dedicated to Liberty."—Ed.
Dear Reliques! from a pit of vilest mould
Uprisen—to lodge among ancestral kings;
And to inflict shame's salutary stings
On the remorseless hearts of men grown old
In a blind worship; men perversely bold
