To Toussaint L'Ouverture
We had a female Passenger who came
Composed in the Valley near Dover, on the Day of Land-
Inland, within a hollow vale, I stood.
Thought of a Briton on the Subjugation of Switzerland
Written in London, September, 1802
Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour
Great men have been among us; hands that penned
It is not to be thought of, that the Flood
When I have borne in memory what has tamed
One might believe that natural miseries
There is a bondage worse, far worse, to bear.
These times strike moneyed worldlings with dismay
England! the time has come when thou shouldst wean
When, looking on the present face of things
To the Men of Kent, October, 1803

Hoffer
Advance, cc.ne forth from thy Tyrolean ground
Feelings of the Tyrolese .
Alas! what boots the long, laborious quest
And is it among rude, untutored Dales .

On the Final Submission of the Tyrolese
Hail, Zaragoza! If with unwet eye.
Say, what is Honor?'T is the finest sense The martial courage of a day is vain
Call not the royal Swede unfortunate
Brave Schill! by death delivered, take thy flight
Look now on that Adventurer who hath paid
Is there a power that can sustain and cheer
Ah! where is Palafox? Nor tongue nor pen
In due observance of an ancient rite.
Feelings of a Noble Biscayan at one of those Funerals
The Oak of Guernica.
Indignation of a High-minded Spaniard
Avaunt all specious pliancy of mind
O'erweening Statesmen have full long relied.
The French and the Spanish Guerillas
The power of Armies is a visible thing.
Here pause: the poet claims at least this praise
The French Army in Russia
On the same Occasion
