The Birth And Progress Of Music.
Genius saw her straying near , His step was swift , his spirit brave , Half won by hope , subdued hy fear , She yielded—ancl became his slave . AVith him her step , from clime to clime ,
Pass ' cl o ' er the earth , the joy of all , Spreading around her art sublime , From humble cot to regal hall . Her strain was heard when Greece was free ,
AA'lien Persia ' s banner kiss'd the sun—AVas heard at famed Thermopylae , Aud on thy plain , O Marathon !
Italia , too , hath heard that strain , Borne o ' er the Adriatic Sea , Hath cursed proud Austria ' s galling chain , And wept , fair A enice—wept for thee . To Gallia ' s vine-clad hills she came ,
AVhen driven forth by tyrant power , Each cot received the sacred flame , And sang her strain in freedom ' s hour . Albion caught the strain at last ,
( The refuge of the brave and free ) The songs of Greece , each danger past , Revive , and breathe once more in thee .
