Ode For General Washingtons Birthday
s of eversting shame!
thee, caledonia! thy wild heaths among,
fam'd for the martial deed, the heaven-taught song,
to thee i turn with swimming eyes;
where is that soul of freedom fled?
immingled with the mighty dead,
beh that hallow'd turf where walce lies
hear it not, walce! in thy bed of death.
ye babbling winds! in silence sweep,
disturb not ye the hero's sleep,
nive the coward secret breath!
is this the a caledonian form,
firm as the rock, resistless as the storm?
show me that eye which shot immortal hate,
bsting the despot's proude
