letra de written in july by samuel rogers - richard mitchley
grey, thou hast served, and well, the sacred cause
that hampden, sydney died for. thou hast stood
scorning the foremost of self, from first to last
among the foremost in that glorious field;
from first to last; and, ardent as thou art
held on with equal step as best became
a lofty mind, loftiest when most assailed;
never, though galled by many a barbed shaft
by many a bitter taunt from friend and foe
swerving, or shrinking. happy in thy youth
thy youth the dawn of a long summer-day;
but in thy age still happier; thine to earn
the gratitude of millions yet to be;
thine to conduct, through ways how difficult
a mighty people in their march sublime
from good to better. great thy recompense
when in their eyes thou read’st what thou hast done;
and may’st thou long enjoy it; may’st thou long
preserve for them what still they claim as theirs
that generous fervour and pure eloquence
thine from thy birth and nature’s n0blest gifts
to guard what they have gained!
