Lines Written on 29 May, the Anniversary of Charles’s Restoration, on Hearing the Bells Ringing

  • Infatuate Britons, will you still proclaim
  • His memory, your direst, foulest shame?
  • Nor patriots revere?
  • Ah! when I hear each traitorous lying bell,
  • ’Tis gallant Sydney’s, Russell’s, Vane’s sad knell,
  • That pains my wounded ear.
