    “Lame as I am, I take the prey,
    Hell, earth, and sin with ease o’ercome;
    I leap for joy, pursue my way,
    And as a bounding hart fly home,
    Through all eternity to prove,
    Thy nature, and Thy name is Love.”
    —Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

    “The despot’s heel is on thy shore,
    Maryland!
    His torch is at thy temple door,
    Maryland!
    Avenge the patriotic gore
    That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
    And be the battle-queen of yore,
    Maryland! my Maryland!”
    —James Ryder Randall (1839–1908)
