"Make way lfor Uberty I" h e cried ;

Their keen pointa pasa'd !rom aide to aide ;

Be bow'd amongst them like a tree,

And thua ma1ie vray for liberty.

Swifl. to the hreach hia comrades fty,-

u Make way for liberty I " tbey cry,

And through the Austrian pha.lrwx dart,

Aa ruah'd the' apeare through Arnold's heart;

While, inatantaneoua 8B hia fall,

Rout, ruin, pnuie, seized them all :

An earthquake could not overthro w

A city with a. surer blow.

Thua Switzer.land again was free;

Thua Death 11a.a.de way for liberty I

Where freedom's foot bath been I

Yet bugle-blast or tru.mpetreound

Flower or a noble field! thy birth

Wa.a not whe1~e apeare have croaa'd 1

And ahiver'd helms have strewn the earth,

Midat b&nnen• won and )oat:

But where the sunny huea and ahowera

Unto thy cup were given,

There met high hearta at midnight houra,

Pure banda were raised to heuen;

And vowe were pledged, that man ahonld roam,

Through ever;r Alpine deU,

Free aa the wine , the torrent'a foam,

The abaft of William Tell!
