Shall Britons captive in their country live, ,1 And prostrate fall at the barbarians' feet ? -o --let thc,,ii fly—for liberty is tied, And trace her footsteps to her lone retreat, While servile minds bow down to Saxon lords, I soil as slaves survive, list I I ,C,aaibriau hills that pierce the nether skies, Freedom and Britons shall together live. There to adore the Lord of earth aud heav'lI, rflo, tyrants drive them from their lov'd domain And there, till Britain is all ii-te no more, Their native tongue from age to age retain.
