250 Not hers, to fend a brother to the field j To furbifh arms, a fire or fon muft wield ; t H ] To ftifle fwelling nature's tender cry, Then bid farewell without one feeble figh ; To banifh from her cheek the fearful pale, While the loud din comes thund'ring on the galej To meet a lover on the untimely bier, And nobly mourn without a woman's tear. Such trials heav'n feverely kind ordains To you, ye daughters of th' Atlantic plains. 260 And while ye nobly bear ; our female band Flaunt in the tr...appings of a foreign land. But one poor facrifice of tinfel pride, Their country claims ; and is that boon de- ny'd? Oh born with hearts the wretch's pangs to feel ! Shall Kile pomp your tender bofoms ftccl ? While foreign robes your polifh'd limbs enfold, Induftrious throngs mull fhuddcr in the cold. [ 25 ] That found of woe their infants piercing cries ! 269 Hear the loud groans of eager angui/h rife j And ye the caufe. - retire ye guilty fair, - Your charms be blafted, and your hopes def- pair.
