O'er the abyaa his broad expanded winga
Lay CAlm and moti<mlel!ll upon the air,
Aa if he floated there without their aid,
By the eole act of his unlorded will
That buoy'd him proudly up. Instinetinly
I strung my bow ; yet kept he rounding s1Ul
His airy circle, as in the delight
Of measuring the ample range beneath,
And round about, absorb'd he heeded not
The death that threaten'd him !-1 could not shoot l-

And let him soar away I'~' l!abiot's l!au-fDMlt.
"MAn way for liberty I " he cried-
" Make way for liberty," and died!In arms the Austrian phAlanx atood,
A lhing wall, a human wood;
Impregnable their front appean,
All horreot with projected spu.ra.
