POEMS WKITTEN IN 1819 LINES WRITTEN DURING THE CASTLEREAGH ADMINISTRATION I Corpses are cold in the tomb -- Stones on the pavement are dumb -- Abortions are dead in the womb, And their mothers look pale, like the death-white shore Of Albion, free no more.

Ill Then trample and dance, thou Oppressor! For thy victim is no redresser -- Thou art sole lord and possessor Of her corpses, and clods, and abortions --they pave Thy path to the grave.
