Oh, it is sweet to wear a heart, whose throbs Are stifled by no fetters and an eye That quails not to the mightiest ! But the soul Of him whose hand hath wrench'd the bonds of thrall From the sad bosoms that beneath them pined, Hath yet a higher joy ! and there is one, * Whose name the grateful Mexican shall teach His son to lisp, ere yet his infant lip Hath learn'd to murmur, father. But our land !, The curse is on it still ! the slave-fiend stalks * Guerrero. 14* 162 POETICAL WORKS OF Amidst ...our pleasant valleys and green hills ; * A tyrant to the tyrants he has made ; Muttering fierce threats, and crowding on their hearts Visions and shapes of terror, like the wild And elfish faces that look forth at eve, On wilder'd travellers, 'midst the cheating shades, And gibe and chatter at the fears they raise. So men go crouching to the demon power, Scarce daring e'en to syllable his name, Lest they should waken up his smother'd rage ; And offering human victims at his shrjne, Instead of nobly standing forth, like men, To drive him yelling from the glorious earth, That he pollutes and blackens with his tread.
