'RIGHT AND WRONG IN BOSTON:'
Containing an account of the meeting of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, and the mob which followed, on the 21st October, 1835.
Unshrinking from the storm,
Well have ye borne your part,
With woman's fragile form,
But more than manhood's heart!
Faithful to Freedom, when
Its name was held accursed—
Faithful, midst ruffian men,
Unto your holy trust.
Oh—steadfast in the Truth!
Not for yourselves alone,
Matron and gentle youth—
Your lofty zeal was shown:
For the bondman of all climes—
For freedom's last abode—
For the hope of future times—
For the birthright gift of God.
