So had the Conclave plann'd with bolted door To make their country bleed at every pore; But when the danger to themselves was brought, They felt the tempest and renounced their fault; They rose to save their ark — the Ship of State, Ready to bilge upon the rock of fate. No faith, no justice can they hope from those. Who the best virtues of the heart oppose; In whose fair smiles deceitful passions lurk — In friendship's borrowed guise plunging a hidden dirk. Their blindness o'er, — their dangero...us feud they see, To strike themselves and root their liberty; Ah! and the chains of slavery, behold, Forg'd out by Discord with Britannic gold. They hurl the written parchment — their disgrace, In flames oblivious, and their deeds, retrace; Humbled, repentant of their treacheries past, Virtuous they rise to quench the civil blast. With this intent they publish far and near Their motives undisguis'd that all might hear: " Friends, fathers, brothers — born of Freedom's soil ! Listen in meekness — hush contentious broil !
