Such superfluity of feathers. . . .
Then on the two-wheel'd car of state, They rais'd our grand Duumvirate. . . .
In front the martial music comes Of horns and fiddles, fifes and drums, With jingling sound of carriage bells.
And treble creak of rusted wheels. . . .
And at fit periods ev*ry throat Combined in universal shout.
And hail'd great Liberty in chorus.
Or bawl'd. Confusion to the Tories.
— M^Fingal, Canto III., pp. 65, 66, ed. 1782.
Timothy Dwight.
The Death of Irad, Again in ether rose
... the dreadful steel; Again it lighten'd, and again it fell; The Heathen's, ringing, leap'd from Irad's shield; The Youth's in fragments, treacherous, strew'd the field.
Held by a chief, swift-leaping from the band, REVOLUTIONARY LITERATURE. 319 A second falchion touch'd his reaching hand, When — loveliest Youth ! why did thy buckler's bound Shield but thy breast? why not thy form surround? . . .
From some base arm unseen, in covert flung, Through his white side a coward javelin sung.
He fell — a groan sad-murmur'd round the host.
