England: Vols. I–IV. 1876–79. | | | | Newbury | | For a Column at Newbury | | Robert Southey (1774–1843) |
| | | CALL’ST thou thyself a patriot? On this field | |
| Did Falkland fall, the blameless and the brave, | |
| Beneath the banners of that Charles whom thou | |
| Abhorrest for a tyrant. Dost thou boast | |
| Of loyalty? The field is not far off | 5 |
| Where, in rebellious arms against his king, | |
| Hampden was killed,—that Hampden at whose name | |
| The heart of many an honest Englishman | |
| Beats with congenial pride. Both uncorrupt, | |
| Friends to their common country both, they fought, | 10 |
| They died, in adverse armies. Traveller! | |
| If with thy neighbor thou shouldst not accord, | |
| Remember these, our famous countrymen, | |
| And quell all angry and injurious thoughts. | | | | |
