Whilst mad with rage demoniac, foul intent,
&nbspEmbattled legions Despots vainly send
To arrest the immortal mind's expanding ray
&nbspOf everlasting Truth;—I other climes
Where dawns, with hope serene, a brighter day

With mental eye exulting now explore,
&nbspAnd soon with kindred minds shall haste to enjoy
(Free from the ills which here our peace destroy)
Content and Bliss on Transatlantic shore.
