o, 'Tis hard TO break the chain s aas
That habit entwines around us,
Or wake up our resolution again t,
z When pieasurs's fair syrena have bound US
But then, thejoy when the heaving heart, x.
\ Bursts free from each damning trammel
And gone are the stains, with our libertys


start, a


That darkened the SOUPS pure enamel.
O then withouta sigh we hurl
70 earth the wine breathing chalice;
And az the flag Of q new life we unfurl,
Disdain the low whispers Of malice.
Then is life more sweetlo the view d plh
Than the glow, of ungodly riot. M t.n.sH 4. n
And the heart is awake 10 emctiona new
In the calm Of domestic quiet.
The dross is swept from the dropping soul.
And it joys in its fresh awaking III
Like sunbeams that burst from the clouds con.

And exult in their radiant breaking,
But iron nerve and despot will,
Must exert their force, Uniting, e. X
To reclaim from the passions insidious skill,
That undo in their wild delighting.

For o It's hard 10 break the chain


That habit entwines around US, s
Or wake up our stern resolution again
When pleasures fair syrens have bound Us.
