Meeting undaunted, and surmounting
The Terrors and Trials of that Revolution
Which secured the Freedom of their Country;
Improved theCondition of their Times;
And brightened the Prospects of Futurity
To the Race of Man upon Earth.
PILGRIM,
From Lives thus spent thy earthly Duties learn;
From Fancy's Dreams to active Virtue turn;
Let Freedom, Friendship, Faith, thy Soul engage,
And serve like them thy Country and thy Age.
