POEMS.
CORSICA.
WRITTEN IN THE YEAR 1769.

Of unsubmitting spirit, wise and brave;
Who still through bleeding ages struggled hard
To hold a generous undiminished state;
Too much in vain!
Thomson.

Stands like a rock of adamant, and dares
The wildest fury of the beating storm.
The fort of freedom; that amidst the waves

Unkindly to the towering growths of virtue,
Unkindly to the towering growths of virtue,
