Patriots,
\nbehold your guerdon. This man found
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Erin,
\nhis mother, bleeding, chastised, bound,
\nNaked to imputation, poor, denied,
\nWhile alien masters held her house of pride.
\nAnd now behold her! Terrible and fair
\nWith the eternal ivy in her hair,
\nArmed with the  <\/span>clamorous 
\n<\/span>thunder, how she stands <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Like
\nPallas\u2019 self, the Gorgon in her hands.
\nTrue that her puissance will be easily past,
\nThe vision ended; she herself has cast
\nHer fate behind her: yet the work not vain
\nSince that which once has been may be again, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And
\nshe this image yet recover, fired
\nWith godlike workings, brain and hands inspired, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

So
\nstand, the blush of battle on her cheek,
\nVoice made armipotent, deeds that loudly speak, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Like
\nsome dread Sphinx, half patent to the eye, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Half
\nveiled in formidable secrecy.
\nAnd he who raised her from her forlorn life <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Loosening
\nthe fountains of that mighty strife, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Where
\nsits he? On what high foreshadowing throne <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Guarded
\nby grateful hearts? Beneath this stone <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

He
\nlies: this guerdon only Ireland gave,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A
\nbroken heart and an unhonoured grave.<\/p>\n
