THE LIFE, TRIAL AND CONVERSATIONS OF ROBERT EMMET, ESQ. Leader of the Irish Insurrection of 1803: ALSO, THE CELEBRATED SPEECH MADE BY HIM ON THE OCCASION.
O breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade,
Where cold and unhonoured his relics are laid;
Sad, silent, and dark be the tears that we shed,
As the night dew that falls on the grass o’er his head
But the night dew that falls, though in silence it weeps
Shall brighten with verdure the grave where he sleeps
And the tear that we shed, though in secret it rolls,
Shall long keep his memory green in our souls.—Moore
