Had the cause of the nation suffered materi-

any recent manifestation been given of a disposition to
compromise the national interests, this harsh measure,
of a nature always little efficacious in preserving fidelity,
might have been resorted to; but as a new pledge required
from an army, who under more severe trials, and exposed
to the greatest temptations, had
sustained
a character of the
highest and most uncorrupted fealty to their country, it
was regarded at the time and must always be considered,
as the unnecessary demand of a too jealous caution, or as
an outrage on a patriotism, and a devotion never surpassed.

Go — if thy unslaked courage wills, 'Mid wintry Caucasus' hoar hills, — Go, — where the frozen plains obey The Amazon — more cold than they ; And, careless of her Sire and Name, At length the haughty virgin dame, The proud Hyppolite, shall yield
To thee her yet
unconquered

And, sighing — though the trumpet sound — Chop her keen ax upon the ground —
What violence could never move,
Shall melt before the touch of Love ;

Could she but match in such a line ; For blest is she, who calls thee hers, —
Thrice blest, when thou shalt call her thine.
