RANK TREASON
By an Irish Rebel, 1798
ОглавлениеThe pomps of Courts and pride of Kings
I prize above all earthly things;
I love my country, but the King
Above all men his praise I sing.
The royal banners are displayed,
And may success the standard aid!
I fain would banish far from hence
The “Rights of Men” and “Common Sense;”
Confusion to his odious reign,
That Foe to princes, Thomas Payne.
Defeat and ruin seize the cause
Of France, its liberties and laws!
Where does the treason come in?
