Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selected Verses The Sentence of Robert Emmet. A crowded court, a breathless bar, Both judge and jury flushed with rage, A fearless felon there to mar And blot with shame Britannia´s page! A hero brave, a rebel bold, A patriot to make tyrants pause, A man of gallant, martial mould, A martyr in his country´s cause! And who the prisoner in the dock? And what his crime against the state? And why a doom worse than the block Pronounced on one so good and great? A name with honor to be known In every age and every land Where freedom bravely holds her own And freemen rally, hand in hand! O Robert Emmet, glorious son Of liberty and Erin´s love. Thy dying words have but begun To echo to the skies above! Thy crime, thy country´s pride and boast, Thy death the dearest men may crave, To drive the despot from her coast, A people to unchain and save! The brutal Toler jibes and jeers, The sneering Plunket smiles in scorn, While Irishmen are moved to tears And generous breasts with grief are torn, As Emmet dares the bench´s worst, Its ruthless wrath, the hangman´s knot, A sentence cruel and accurst, A fate cannot be forgot!
