We have finished our work
the all will be well.
land be bathed in blood
that will be left to be done
to calm the storm of Fanaticism
worshipped in the days of yore
but as a last resort;
we beg let her defend herself,
Unquestionably there is risk.
the enforcement of the rights
will bring all this to pass.
Was there ever a prize without risk?
It is the law of kindness and love
utterly blotted away
the perseverance of our moral 
history of the good and
enemies in the wrong. 
and with her will perish 
everything valuable 
must be maintained by constant and untiring glory.

With regard to Slavery:
resist, by every means in their power
We implore them, 
for the sake of self-defense,
she has a right to do so
subject of Slavery that now exist
to attack, degrade and crush her,
he can strengthen acknowledgment and protection
We say, 
let her do this,
(and God grant that they might not be,)
give you - of her children - strength 
so to act and to them
have counseled resistance 
earnestly do we pray 
fully and ably
all means for securing the greatest possible things,
a perpetual happiness,
a bull market,
and 15 minutes of fame.
