QUEEN’S COURT MANUSCRIPT.
“Ho! brethren, see yon mountain grey!
“Our late won victory,
“There dwell the Gods that gave it us,
“And there from tree to tree
“Flits many a soul thro’ all the wood;
"“The timid beasts and fowls
“In terror flee, except alone
“The ne’er affrighted owls.
“On to the mountains let us go,
“Our dead to bury there,
“And to the Gods to sacrifice,
“Who gave us freedom fair!
“And many an offering we will bring,
“And many a thankful strain,
“And to them we will dedicate
“The weapons of the slain.”
