English poem
INSCRIPTION II.
Art thou a Patriot Traveller? on this field Did Falkland fall, the blameless and the brave, Beneath a Tyrant's banners: dost thou boast Of loyal ardor? Hambden perish'd here, The rebel Hambden, at whose glorious name The heart of every honest Englishman Beats high with conscious pride. Both uncorrupt, Friends to their common country both, they fought, They died in adverse armies. Traveller! If with thy neighbour thou should'st not accord, In charity remember these good men, And quell each angry and injurious thought.
