	FORGET NOT THE FIELD. (THE LAMENTATION OF AUGHRIM.)
	as.
	Oh ! could we from death but recover Those hearts, as they bounded before, In the face of high Heav'n to fight over That combat for freedom once more;
	3- But 'tis past, and tho' blazon'd in story The name of our Victor may be, Accurs'd is the march of that glory Which treads o'er the hearts of the free.
	4-Far dearer the grave or the prison, Illumined by one patriot name, Than the trophies of all who have risen On liberty's ruins to fame!
	H. 4868.
