And his wild harp slung behind him.
84 PRO PATRIA " Land of song, " said the warrior bard, " Though all the world betrays thee.
One sword at least thy rights shall guard, One faithful harp shall praise thee! " The minstrel fell, but the foeman's chain Could not bring that proud soul under ; The harp he loved ne'er spoke again.
For he tore its chords asunder. And said, " No chains shall sully thee, Thou soul of love and bravery ! Thy songs were made for the pure and free, They shall never sound ...in slavery. " T. Moore 58 PRO PATRIA MORI When he who adores thee has left but the name Of his fault and his sorrows behind, Oh ! say wilt thou weep, when they darken the fame Of a life that for thee was resign'd ! Yes, weep, and however my foes may condemn, Thy tears shall efface their decree; For, Heaven can witness, though guilty to them, I have been but too faithful to thee.
With thee were the dreams of mj' earliest love; Every thought of my reason was thine : In my last humble prayer to the Spirit above Thy name shall be mingled with mine !
