 Britannia's fkg usurp'd the mountain wave, 
 
 And claim'd her pow'r to murder and enslave ; 
 
 " The pathless deep," by Nature's God made free, 
 
 She proudly said, " shall all belong tome P* 
 
 But in her claim Columbia found a flaw ; 
 
 Hull tried the cause, and gain'd by Cannon Law. 
 
 Heroic Chief — thro' endless time thy name 
 Will stand recorded on the lists of fame: 
 
 A brave Commander , and his Country's friend? 
 
 On whom she could in danger's hour depend." 
 Thro' ev'ry age thy noble worth will raise 
 The grateful tribute of unbounded praise. 
 
 To gallant Bush, and h : s immortal band, 
 Who fell with glory in the famous stand; 
 A mourning country will to them eiect 
 The monument of its unfeign'd respect ; 
 That death may also to their fame conspire, 
 At freedom's shrine bid valour's sons expire. 
 
 
 OUR NAVY. 
 
 ON wings of glory, swift as light, 
 The sound of battle came, 
 The gallant Hull in glorious fight, 
 Has won the wreathes of lame. 
 
 Let brave Columbia's noble band, 
 With hearts united rise, 
 Swear to protect their native land, 
 Till sacred Freedom dies. 
 
 Let brave Decatur's dauntless brea6t 
 With Patriot ardor glow,

 And Rodgers, with his gallant crew 
 O'er the wide ocean ride, 
 To prove their royal spirit true, 
 And crush old Albion's pride. 
 
 Let brave Columbia's band. &c 
 
 Then li.til another Guerriere there, 
 With roaring broadsides, hail, 
 And while the thunder r^nds the air, 
 kee Briton's sons turn pale. 
 
 Let brave Columbia's noble band, *\ 
 The day is ours, my hoys, huzza,

 While all responsive, roar huzza,

 Let brave Columbia's noble band, &c. 
 
 Thus shall Columbia's fame be ?pread, 
 Her heav'n born Eagle soar, 
 Her deeds of glory shall be read, 
 When Tyrants are no more.

 CAPTAIN HULL. 
 
 AT sea, Captain Hull fell in with John Bull — 
 
 u Bravo !" says Johnny, 
 u A Yankee I've caught, 'tis what I long sought. 
 
 To England l'il take him,'* says Johnny. 
 
 So when Donald Traquair was caught by a Bear, 
 "Bravo !" says Donald, 
 
" As sure'* I'm a Scot, a Yankee I've got ; 
 What will I do with him ?'* 9ays Donald. 
 
 " Why bring him along/'---"Guid faith, he's too 
 
 strong. 
 
 Oh ! Oh !" says Donald, 
 u This chiel does so squeeze me, come quickly and 
 
 ease me, 
 
 Make haste or he'll kill me," says Donald. 
 
 Thus when Captain Hull had lather'd John Bull, 
 
 " High ho !" says Johnny, 
 u Fir? off your lee gun, we can't fight not run, 
 
 " So completely disabled is Johnny," 
 
 So they fir'd the lee gun — "'Twas very fine fun. 1 ' 
 
 *' Oh no !" says Johnny, 
 " Tis no fun for me, to be beat on the sea, 
 
 Where no ship, I thought, could fight Johnny,'* 
 
 The Constitution and the Guerriere 
 
 AVAST ! says Captain Dacres, 
 There's a ship-load of wiseacres 
 
 Trespassing on our ocean ; 
 To flog these tarnations 
 On the highway of nations 
 
 Is the highway to promotion. 
 
 So to work, my jolly tars, 
 Clear the decks, right the spars, 
 
 Trim the Guerriere, my lads, for action ; 
 And when the lubbers come, 
 With one roll of the drum, 
 
 Let's douse the Yankee jib in a) fraction, 
 
 But the gallant Captain Hull 
 Never minding Master Bull, 
 
 And smiling at his vaifi boasting ; 
 
Fill'd his sails to the breeze, 
 And made ready at his ease, 
 
 To give the mighty bullock a rib-roasting— 
 
 Up with three flags, says Jack ; 
 dur frigate is a crack 
 
 And, blast me, let's give em no quarter ; 
 Ev'ry man at his gun 
 Shall have a bit of fun 
 
 To blow 'em, in a crack, out of water — 
 
 But Jonathan kept cool 
 At the roaring of the Bull 
 
 His heart fill'd with every thing but fears ; 
 And squirtifig out his quid, 
 As he saw the Captain did, 
 
 He clear'd out his mouth for three cheers—* 
 
 And when he had got so nigh 
 As to see the white o' the eye 
 
 Of the terrible lord of the ocean ; 
 Up with four flags, says he, 
 As Jack's got up three, 
 
 And plague on it, let's teach them a notioi.. 
 
 So Jack he fir'd away 
 With a devil of a spray, 
 
 All the while in a devil of a passion ; 
 Bur Jonathan's first rakers 
 Gave the fierce Captain Dacres 
 
 Some notion of the Yankee way of threshing. 
 
 And as Bull did not like 
 All his three flags to strike, 
 
 Tho* his decks they were mowM like a stubble: 
 Says the well-bred captain Hull, 
 If you please Mister Bull, 
 
 My people shali save you that trouble. 
 
Then before he could rally 
 Came the Yankee finale 
 
 To complete Mister Bull his disaster , 
 And he calf d to his steward 
 To fire a gun to leeward, 
 
 And acknowledge the Yankee his master. 
 
 As soon as Jack cried enough, 
 The Yankee's sterner stuff, 
 
 Struck the ensign of his soul to compassion ; 
 And from his own mess 
 To his foe in distress 
 
 Sent the Doctor, some grog, and a ration. 
 
 Thus John Bull was admonish'd. 
 And morever astonisli'd, 
 
 To beware how he treats Yankee Doodle j 
 And not to swagger again 
 On this side of the main, 
 
 For fear he should look like a noodle, 
 
 The Constitution and Guerriere, 
 
 "BRITANNIA'S gallant streams 
 
 Float proudly o'er the tide ; 
 
 And fairly wave Columbia's stripes > 
 
 In battle, side by side. 
 
 And ne'er did bolder foemen meet, 
 
 Where ocean's surges pour. 
 
 O'er the tide now they ride, 
 
 While the bellowing thunders roar, 
 
 While the cannon's fire is flashing fas£. 
 
 And the bellowing thunders roar. 
 
 When Yankee meets the Briton, 
 Whose blood congenial flow.", 
 
]0 
 
 By Heaven created to be friends, 
 By British outrage foes ; 
 Hard then must be the hr.rtle frav, 
 Ere well the fight is oY 
 Now they ride, side by side, 
 While the bellowing thunders roar, 
 While cannon's fire is flashing fast, 
 And the bellowing thunders roar. 
 
 Still, still for noble England, 
 
 Bold Dacres' streamer's fly ; 
 
 And, for Columbia, gallant Hull's, 
 
 As proudly and as high. 
 
 Now louder rings the battle din, 
 
 More thick the volumes pour ; 
 
 Still they ride, side by side, 
 
 While the bellowing thunders roar, 
 
 While the cannon's fire is flashing fast, 
 
 And the bellowing thunders roar. 
 
 Why lulls Britannia's thunder, 
 That wak'd the wat'ry war ? 
 Why stays that gallant Guerriere, 
 Whose streamer wav'd so fair ; 
 That streamer drinks the ocean wave ! 
 That warrior's fight is o'er ! 
 Still they ride, side by side, 
 While Columbia's thunders roar, 
 While the cannon's fire is flashing fast, 
 And her Yankee thunders roar. / 
 
 Hark ! 'tis the Briton's lee gun ! 
 Ne'er bolder warrior kneel'd ? 
 And ne'er to gallant mariners 
 Did braver seamen yield. 
 
 
11 
 
 Proud be the sires, whose hardy boys, 
 Then fell to fight no more ; 
 With the brave, 'mid the wave, 
 When the cannon's thunders roar, 
 Their spirits then shall trim the blast, 
 And swell the thunder's roar. 
 
 Vain were the cheers of Britons, 
 Their hearts did viinly swell, 
 Where virtue, skill, and bravery, 
 With Bush and Morris fell, 
 That heart so well in battle tried, 
 Along the Moorish shore, 
 Again o'er the main, 
 When Columbia's thunders roar. 
 Shall prove its Yankee spirit true, 
 When Columbia's thunders roar. 
 
 Hence be our floating bulwarks 
 Those oaks our mountains yield : 
 'Tis mighty Heaven's plain decree — 
 Then take the wat'ry field. 
 To ocean's farthest barrier then 
 Your whit'ning sail shall pour ; 
 Safe they'll ride o'er the tide, 
 While Columbia's thunders roar, 
 While her cannon's fire is flashing fast, 
 And her Yankee thunders roar. 
 
 HULL'S NAVAL VICTORY. 
 HAIL, Muse ! inspire the cause, 
 Give noble Hull applause. 
 
 On ocean's deep, where fair Columbia's sails 
 Spread wide and full before the cheering gales, 
 
12 
 
 t ust as declining Sol, had reached the west, 
 And day was ebbing to his wonted rest, 
 A scarlet flag ; — the flag of bondage rose, 
 And pointed out to Freemen Freedom's foes. 
 
 High in the air the red and white appear'd, 
 By Independence, virtue, valor rear'd ; 
 The Constitution fierce, with men who glow'd 
 To free their country of oppression's load, 
 Bore down upon the Guerriere from afar, 
 And play'd the dreadful clarions of war. 
 
 
 Our gallant boys' huzza, % 
 
 Fill'd England's tars with awe ; 
 And still they fought and bled, 
 And still they join'd the dead. 
 
 Hail, Muse ! inspire the cause, 
 Give noble Hull applause. 
 
 Old Nepture, Hst'nincr from his coral car, 
 Heard with a joyous smile the thundVing war ; 
 And shook his trident thrice, and bade the sea 
 Be still ; and harken to the voice of Liberty. 
 The noisy waves were hush'd *, — the cannons' 
 
 fire flash'd, 
 Freemen and slaves, Freedom and slavery 
 
 clash'd. 
 
 Our brave commander Hull rode in the storm, 
 And shew'd Britannia's slaves, Columbia's form, 
 Th' unfettered Eagle soar'd above his head, 
 And struck the sons of tyranny with dead, 
 They fell : — the boast, the pride of Albion fell. 
 And future ages shall the victory tell. 
 

 Hail ! gallant minded tars ! 
 True praise shall heal your scars, 
 And gratitude exclaim 
 Sound, sound the trump of Fame ! 
 
 THE YANKEE SEA FIGHT. 
 
 MUSE, wake the song, 
 
 Let earth prolong 
 The strains of action great and glorious, 
 
 Of Yankee pride, 
 
 And valor tried, 
 Of Yankee tars in fiuht victorious. 
 
 Strike loud the soul exulting strain, 
 
 The strain which Britain's heart zvp^ 7 ^ 
 
 Sing how this Black Beard of the main, 
 Beneath a " Yankee cock boat" falls. 
 
 The Guerriere sweeps, 
 
 fHer subject deeps, 
 At ev'ry mast a flag is flying, 
 In conscious might, 
 Begins the fight, 
 With triple gauntlet Hull defying. 
 
 And now impell'd by fav'ring breeze, 
 
 Along the Constitution towers, 
 And gains the boaster of the seas, 
 
 Unaw'd amid her iron showers. 
 
 Before the foes, 
 
 In battle close, 
 Behold aloft the Eagle streaming ; 
 
 Four standards high, 
 
 Wav'd in the sky, 
 And quick the battle glare was gleaming. 
 
 B / 
 
u 
 
 The Guerriere pours a flaming cloud, 
 In horror from her thund'ring guns, 
 
 As thick it streams 'mid belchings loud, 
 Respondent from Columbia's sons. 
 
 The battle storms,. 
 
 In loud alarms, 
 For thirty-two's they twenty-four her ; 
 
 The i€ crack ship" reels, 
 
 Each blow she feels, 
 And deep the bullet augers bore her. 
 
 Now death stalks dread with mien aghast, 
 And stain her decks with crimson'd tide , 
 
 And now behold her mizen mast, 
 Recumbent thunder o'er her side. 
 
 Now closer still, 
 
 With bloodier will, 
 Aboard behold bold Dacres steering: * 
 
 In reeking pride, 
 
 With prow to side, 
 His crew with hopes of vict'ry cheerinp. 
 
 But vain his hopes, for Hull the brave, 
 
 A fire of devastation kept, 
 The Guerriere totters o'er her grave, 
 
 Her main and foremast both are swepf. 
 
 They view their crash, 
 
 By cannon's flash, 
 Hull touch'd with manly human feeiing \ 
 
 Bids cease the roar, 
 
 Nor longer pour, 
 The death ball on the foeman reeling 
 
 No flag the bully had to strike. 
 
 From him both mast and flag were tor 
 
A c» 
 
 acli splinter'd stump lie view'd alike, 
 Of all its haughty honors shorn. 
 
 The Gueirier* now. 
 From stern to prow, 
 #Vas dark with blood and carnage smoaking , 
 When sad and drear, 
 Her voice v/e iiear, 
 In leeward gun submissive croaking. 
 
 4i My boys/' cried Hull, " the day is ours, 
 u The brave soul'd pirates' crest is low/' 
 
 Prouder rhe victor Ea^le towers, 
 
 And glory's wreathe surrounds his bvow; 
 
 Soon shall the foe, 
 
 Our prowess know, 
 That strains our waters with pollution ; 
 
 Each ship we have, 
 
 Find just as brave, 
 Ejich t€ cock beat" find a Constitution.

 N THE CAPTURE OF THE GUERRIERE 
 
 IIARK, hark ! o'er ocean's subject wave, 
 Wafted by rh' enamour'd gale, 
 
 The loud chorus of the brave 
 '• Columbia's sons prevail !!" 
 
 List ! you'll hear our hero's voice, 
 Courage breathes in every bread: 
 
 HULL ! who gives the only choice, 
 " Instant victory orjrfeath. 
 
 " Rush like lightning on ihe foe ; • 
 " Gall them with incessant fire : 
 
 u Board and conquer at a blow : 
 t: Board and conquer, or expire." 
 
16 
 
 Loud and louder peals the roar ; 
 
 Swift and certain is. their aim j 
 The ocean's red with gallant gore ; 
 
 High it blazons, with their lame ! 
 
 Hush ! a freemans dying groan ! 
 
 Be the flag a moment furTd, 
 But valor ne'er is o'erthrown ■ ■ 
 
 He's immortal in each world. 
 
 Warriors ! smile upon your wounds 
 See our MORRIS fight and bleed ; 
 
 four all applauding country sounds, 
 " Love and Glory are your meed.' 
 
 Shout ! the British lions fall ! 
 
 Shout ! the star-flag streams along i 
 Mercy ! is the Briton's call, 
 
 VICTORY ! Columbia's Song!!! 
 
 THE CONSTITUTION AND GUERRIERE. 
 
 THE sun inclinM in western heaven, 
 Sublimely fell the shades of even, 
 When by swift breeze the war ships driven, 
 Rode o'er old ocean haughtily. 
 
 Like two proud eagles soaring high, 
 To combat flutt'ring in the sky, 
 Sach from the other scorns to fly, 
 
 Each seeks the contest vauntingiy. 
 
 Brave Hull upon the foeman steers, 
 Sees his black'd sails, his thunder hears ;• — 
 Three flags aloft the Briton rears, 
 And four the bold American. 
 
 Long did the haughty Briton boast, 
 First place in glory's dazzling host, 
 
7 
 
 lis claim^to honour's brightest post, 
 All but Columbia ratified. 
 
 Come on, fierce braggart of the main/" 
 le cried, u I dare thee with thy train, 
 4C Of death and discord, hell and pain, 
 " And all thy league demoniac. 
 
 " Ruled unarm'd on every sea, 
 ct Insulted long and scorn'd by thee, 
 f Thou king of theft and piracy, 
 
 *' Now yield to justice' minister!" 
 
 Her genius swept with pinions bright 
 The blue profound, a crown of light 
 Hangs o'er her as she waits the fight, 
 With hope and pride's anxiety. 
 
 Now fierce and dread the death storm jars, 
 *ar flam'd the fi'ry bolts of wars, 
 he God of fight, horrific Mars, 
 
 Watch'd o'er the conflict gloomily. 
 
 ere Albion's boast — Columbia's there, 
 Flung high their smoking clouds in air, 
 And Pity view'd the dismal glare, 
 And shudder'd in despondency. 
 
 Wide flash'd the glitt'ring show of arms, 
 The cannon pour'd his sweeping storms, 
 Deep rnouth'd he grumbled dread alarms, 
 And frown'd with aspect turbulent. 
 
 Tlie foes together fearless sweep, 
 Fame's harvest eager both to reap, 
 Whilst growling o'er the redden'd deep, 
 The dogs of death skulk terrible. 
 
 B 2

 "With dangerous strength they bo;h contend, 
 The sinking Guerriere scorn'd lo bend, 
 The Britons to the last contend, 
 'Till *omes despair precipitate. 
 
 The Constitution ploughed in pride 
 The yielding seas, 'till side to side, 
 She pour ; d a devastation wide, 
 
 And snatch'd the wreath of victory. 
 
 For e'er the first few moments past, 
 The Briton view'd with mien aghast, 
 Each nag overthrown, each crashing mast 
 Torn from him unrelentingly. 
 
 Wow wilder still the combat pour'd, 
 Its bail of fate incessant showcr'd, 
 '"Till reel'd, o'ercome and overpower'* 
 The pride of Albion insolent. 
 
 No more the air with death balls teenVd, 
 No more the blaze of battle steam'd, 
 Mar's flaming front no longer gleam'd, 
 The Briton ceased submissively 
 
 Strike the gay harp to honor's lays, 
 Loud sound the cheerful notes of praise, 
 And kindle glory's brightest blaze, 
 In homage due to bravery. 
 
 America ! resplendent wake, 
 Let Heaven and earth accordant shake, 
 Sublime thou'st pledg'd the mighty stak« 
 And borne the palm from Englishmen. 
 
 Long slumb'ring on the couch of case,

 And sought for happiness' increase, 
 
 And Heaven of sweet tranquillity.

 Who repine at our living thus free ; 
 The laurels we reap, we'll lay at your feet, 
 
 With our spoil, we'll grace Liberty Tree. 
 
 ON THE MEMORABLE VICTORY 
 
 Obtained by the gallant Captain Paul Jones, of 
 Le Bon Homme Richard, (or father Richard) 
 over the British ship of war Seraphis, of 44 
 guns, under the command of Captain Pearson, 
 September 23, 1779. 
 
 O'ER the rough main with flowing sheets, 
 The guardian of a numerous fleet, 
 
 Seraphis from the Baltic came ; 
 A ship of less tremendous force, 
 Sail'd by her side the self-same cour 
 
 Countess of Scarborough was her 
 
 And now their native coast appear, 
 Britannia's hills their summits rear 
 Above the German main : 
 
25 
 
 Fond to suppose their danger o'er, 
 They southward coast along the shore, 
 
 Thy waters, gentle Thames, to gaib. 
 
 ull forty guns Seraphis bore, 
 Tnd Scat borough's Countess twenty-four, 
 
 Mann'd with Old England's boldest tars. 
 rVhat flag that rides in Gallic seas, 
 ihall dare attack such piles as tlacse, 
 Desip-n'd for tumults and for wars? 
 
 Now from the topmast's giddy height, 
 A seaman cried—' Four sail in sight, 
 
 1 Approach with favouring gales j" 
 Pearson resolv'd to save the fleet, 
 tood oft to sea, these ships to meet, 
 
 i'nd closely brae'd his shiv'ring sails. 
 
 7 ith him advane'd the Countess bold, 
 ike a black tar in wars grown old : 
 
 And now these floating piles drew nigh j 
 ut, muse, unfold, what chief of fame, 
 In the other warlike squadron came, 
 
 Whose standard at his mast-heads fly. 
 
 Tv/as Jones, brave Jones, to battle led 
 A bold a crew as ever bled, 
 
 Upon the sky surrounded main ; 
 The standards of the western world, 
 Were to the willing winds unfurl'd, 
 
 Denying Britain's tyrant reign. 
 
 The good Man-Richard led the line ; 
 The Alliance must with these combine, 
 
 The Gallic ship they Pallas call, 
 The Vengeance, arm'd with sword and flame ; 
 
 C 
 
26 
 
 These to aitack the Britons came— 
 But two accompli 11. 
 
 Now Pbcebus sought his pearly bed 
 But who can tell the scenes of dread, 
 
 The horrors of that fatal night ! 
 Close up these floating castles came : 
 The Good Man Richard burst in flame > 
 
 Seraphis trembled at the sight. 
 
 They felt the fury of her ball, 
 
 Down, prostrate down the Britons fall : 
 
 The decks were strew'd with slain : 
 Jones to the foe his vessel lash d ; 
 And, while the black artillery flash'd, 
 
 Loud thunders shook the main, 
 
 Alas ! that mortals should employ, 
 Such murdVing engines to destroy, 
 
 That frame by heav'n so neatly joined, 
 Alas ! that e'er it was decreed, 
 That brother should by brother bleed, 
 
 And pour such madness in the mind. 
 
 But thou, brave Jones, no blame shalt bear, 
 The rights of men demand your care ; 
 
 For these you dare the greedy waves- 
 No tyrant, on destruction bent, 
 Has plann'd thy conquest ; thou art sent, 
 
 To humble tyrants and their slaves. 
 
 ee ! — dread Seraphis flames again — 
 And art thou, Jones, among the slain, 
 
 And sunk to Neptune's cave below ? — 
 He lives — though crowds around him fall, 
 Still he unhurt survives them all ; 
 
 Almost alone he fights the foe. 
 
And can \ our ship these strokes sustain ? 
 .Behold your brave companions slain, 
 
 All clasp ' ocean'* cold embrace. 
 Strike, or be sunk — die Briton cries — - 
 Sink, if you can — the chief replies, 
 
 Fierce lightnings blazing; in his face. 
 
 Then to the side three guns he drew, 
 [Almost deserted by his crew] 
 
 And chargM them deep with woe,r 
 By Pearson's flash he aimed hot balls : 
 
 His main-mast totters— down it falls 
 
 Overwhelming half below. 
 
 Pearsfin had yet disdain'd to yield, 
 But scarce his secret fears conceal'd, 
 
 And thus was hear to cry, 
 < With hell, not mortals, I contend : 
 ' What art thou — human or a fiend, 
 
 i That dost my force defy V 
 
 c Return, my lads, the fight roc gw ?'. 
 So calld bold Pearson to his crew ; 
 
 But call'd, alas ! in vain ; 
 Some on the decks lay m'aim'd and dead ; 
 Some to their deep recedes fled, 
 
 And hosts were shrouded in the main. 
 
 Distressed, forsaken, and alone, 
 
 He haul d his tatter'd standard down, 
 
 And yielded to his gallant foe ; 
 Bold Pallas soon the Countess took,- 
 Thus bodi their haughty colours struck, 
 
 Confessing what the brave can do 
 
 | But Jones, too dearly didst thou buy. 
 These ships possest so gloriously, 
 
28 
 
 Too many deaths disgrac'd the fi A y . 
 Your barque fliat bore the conquering flame, 
 That the proud Briton overcame, 
 
 E'en she forsook thee on thy way: 
 
 For when the morn began to shine, 
 Fatal to her the ocean brine, 
 
 Pour'd through each spacious wound ; 
 Quick in the deep c he disappear* d ; 
 But Jones to friendly Belgia steer'd, 
 
 With conquest and with glory crow:. • 
 
 Go on, great man, to scourge the foe, 
 And bid these haughty Britons know. 
 
 They to our thirteen stars shall bend : 
 The stars that clad in dark attire, 
 Long glimmer' d with a feeble fire, 
 
 But radient now ascend. 
 
 Bend to the stars that flaming rise, 
 
 On western worlds, more brilliant skies, 
 
 Fair freedom's reign restored, ■ 
 
 So when the magi, come from far, 
 Behold the God attending star, 
 
 They trembled and ador'd. 
 
 ROYAL SPORT. 
 
 Til K genius of Freedom, of unsullied fame. 
 In Europe was hunted as royal fair game : 
 Eluding the chase of his Albion foes. 
 He sought in Columbia a place to repo 
 
 Nor 1< under cover till Britain's fell pack, 
 Took scent of the gcwiui and followed hi.s track, 
 Asserting their title to hunt on the ground, 
 Wherever his majesty's game could be found. 
 
29 
 
 The sons of Columbia, the heirs of the 3oil, 
 Such savage like sporting deter min'd to spoil, 
 Resolved like freemen their rights to maintain, 
 And drove the fell pack to their kennel again. 
 
 The blood-hounds of Britain again we now spy, 
 UnkennellM, uncoupled, and all in full cry, 
 And driving full speed to be in at the death, 
 To wind his shrill horn upon Freedom's last bra ath 
 
 There's all the old Tories and old Refugees, 
 And merciless Indians united with these, 
 At the sound of the bugle they follow the track^ 
 And join in the chase with the old British pack. 
 
 Though daring awhile to make game of cur cause, 
 Unpunish'd they shall not long sport with our laws, 
 For lashing the puppies half train'd to the chase, 
 We'll send them to Scotia again in disgrace. 
 
 Though spies, and though traitors should practise their 
 
 wiles, 
 Fair freedom shall ne'er be entrapped in their toils, 
 Like true-bloeded Yankees, we'll smoke their stalo 
 
 strick, 
 And play them the game of old seventy-six. 
 
 John Bull may bellow, his lion may growl, 
 His bullies may bluster, his war dogs may howl, 
 $jike our fathers our freedom we'll ever maintain, 
 They beat the whole pack and we'll beat them agaii

 Because I have mention'd no toast for to drink :

 There are many fine toasts, but the best of then 
 
 all 
 Is the toast of the time, which is Liberty Hall. 
 
 That fine British building by Alfred wasfram'd, 
 Its grand corner stone Magna Charter is nam'd; 
 Independency came at integrity's call, 
 And form'd the front pillars of Liberty IlalL

 Ye spaniels of power and bounty's disgrace : 
 So supple, so servile, so passive ye fall, 
 'Twas passive obedience lost Liberty HalL 
 
 But when Revolution set bounds to the crown. 
 And Bunker's hill thunder knock' d tyranny

 No frown cloth'd with terror appeared to appal. 
 The doors were thrown open of Liberty HalL

 Soon must bear their country's frown, 
 
 Doom'd to death and dire destruction,

 Round our eagles freemen flock,

 THE KEY OF SEDITION. 
 Tune, Daddy Neptune one day, to Freedom did say- 
 
 When our fathers of yore hove in sight of thi s 
 shore, 
 And the saiiorn were first heard to sing land, 
 From their cabin so hampev'd on deck thev all 
 scamper'd, 
 To ttfce the first peep at New England ; 
 The rough rugged shores of New England; 
 The wild woods and rocks of New England: 
 So pleas' d at thr view, they directly hove too, 
 And caper'd ashore in New England. 
 
35 
 
 Then they tore up the soil with abundance of 
 roil, 
 
 And they soon made a beautiful green land : 
 And they planted a tree, which thej^called Li* 
 berty, 
 
 ki the generous soil of New England. 
 
 It flourished and grew in New England- 
 Its branches spread over New England — 
 
 And under its shadow, our forefathers have 
 had— O 
 
 The richest of joys in New England. 
 
 But a Mr. JOHN BULL, who would lord it ia 
 
 full, 
 Came out in a rage from Old England ; 
 And swore that this tree, no longer should be 
 Found growing so high in New England : 
 
 That it never belong'd to New England— 
 
 Tho* it already bloom'd in New England — 
 So we soon came to blows — with a huge 
 
 bloody nose 
 He was glad to pack off from New England [ 
 
 Then came Monsieur FRANK, all so nimble and 
 
 crank, 
 Who thought o'er the world he should swing 
 
 hand ; 
 From rabble and robbery, to kick up a bobery, 
 'Mong the peaceable folks of New England ; 
 
 To sew his wild oats in New England — 
 
 To. sap the fair trees of New England — 
 To our tight little navy, he soon cried 
 
 " peccavi ! M 
 And caper'd away from New England t 
 
4nd now it is said, that these fellows run mad, 
 
 Won't leave us in peace in this free land ; 
 Jne says we must join in his wars, or resign 
 This beautiful tree of New England, 
 
 Our snug little homes in New England — 
 Cur sweethearts and wives in New Ens- 
 Jand — i 
 Our traitors may go, but the tyrants shall 
 
 know, 
 That we heed not histhreats in New England, 
 
 Our administration are all bothenuion, 
 
 Running foul of each breaker and quicksand ,- 
 ey might know, witless dunces, the method 
 
 at once, 
 Is to give up the helm to New England — 
 To the great and the good in New Eng- 
 land — 
 To the soldier and sage in New England — 
 Our true u Northern Notions" would settle 
 
 commotions, 
 And teach them respect to New England. 
 
 N ur rulers, distracted, have left unprotectc 
 Our wealth on the ocean and inland ; 
 o sink, burn, destroy, seems to give them 
 
 great joy 
 The hard earn'd fruits 01 New England — 
 Which we rais'd on the hills of New Eng- 
 land — 
 Which we drew from the seas of New 
 England — 
 Yet these Buckskins will find, the Yankees 
 inclin'd 
 'a stick te the Hights of New England. 
 
37 
 
 But since war is declar'd, let us all be prepar'd, 
 For the dangers that threaten our dear land ; 
 With Strong to parade us, whoe'er may invade 
 us, 
 We'll fight for the rights of New England 
 We'll die or live free in New England — 
 In the shade of the Treeof New England !-~ 
 And the nation shall know, who is truly their 
 foe, 
 Is also the foe of New England. 
 
 THE AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS, 
 
 AWAKE, awake ! to glory wake ! 
 
 The din of battle calls ; 
 A nation's wrongs your slumbers break : 
 Columbia lives — cr falls ! ! 
 Ye free born spirits, take the field ; 
 
 Your country's wrongs redress, 
 Your country's rights with glory shield, 
 Your country's fears repress 1 
 
 A haughty foe inVades your rights, 
 
 And triumphs in our spoil ; 
 She glories in her base exploits, 
 And fattens on our toil : 
 Your commerce withers on the main, 
 
 Your sons in slav'ry groan! 
 Your brothers' blood your harbours stain, 
 Your childless mothers mourn. 
 
 Here secret spies infest your land, 
 
 Enkindling discord's flame ; 
 Combining with a venal band 
 
 To crush our eagle frame i 
 
38 
 
 To arm the sire against the son,, 
 
 The son against the sire ! 
 To cause a brother's blood to run, 
 
 To quench a brother's ire. ^ 
 
 The lurking savage yells for prey, 
 
 Along the western wild ; 
 The hunter's track i§ watch'd by day. 
 
 By night his sleep beguil'd : 
 His wreaking cottage frights the glodm. 
 His infants shriek th' alarm, 
 His wife sinks lifeless in a swoon, 
 Ok bleeds within his arms. 
 
 O God ! wilt thou not judge our foes , 
 
 And let thy wrath descend ? 
 Avenge an injur'd people's woes, 
 Their righteous cause defend ? 
 Inspire our sons to take the field ; 
 
 Their country's wrongs redress ; 
 Their country's rights with glory shield, 
 Their country's fears repress ! 
 
 Lives here a wretch who would not fight ? 
 
 A miscreant who would fly ? 
 A dastard who would yield his right ? 
 Or grudge to freely die ? 
 When wrongs and insults croud his sight, 
 
 And sicken on his heart ; 
 When pow'r gives law, and interest right, 
 And truth means only art.

 FROM dungeons of Britain, which float on the

 With heart made of stone, does but mock at

 By Washington's feats, and by deeds of your

 For country and liberty offer our lives, 
 At the word of command be still ready to fly, 
 Protecting our parents, our children and

 A SONG. 
 
 Written on the fourth of July. 
 NOW Europe's convuls'd with the discord of war, 
 
 Without e'en a hope of experiencing peace ; 
 And the loud cries of anguish resound from afar — 
 
 And contention will last long ere it must cease. 
 
47 
 
 Fell tyranny sways with his grim iron hand. 
 And stretches his arm of oppression around: 
 
 Strikes horror afar at ambition's command, 
 
 The life-thrilling blessings of freedom to wounc* 
 
 And all are compelled to resume the fell sword, 
 To deal devastation and vengeance around : 
 
 Vnd at the proud Regent or Bonaparte's word, 
 Must crimson the plain or the ocean profound. 
 
 " When demons of war love to revel in gore/' 
 From the land of contention, oppression and 
 
 woes, 
 air Liberty's flown, and now dwells on. the shore, 
 Where civil commotion ne'er makes her repose. 
 
 h yes ! from their clime the fair Goddess has fled. 
 And triumphantly sail'd on th' Atlantic's proud 
 wave, 
 
 To Columbia, where many bold heroes have bled, 
 'Neath her branches, and made it the land of the 
 brave. 
 
 For Columbia's the land of free conscience and 
 
 thought, 
 
 The land where contentment and happiness reign ; 
 
 Which blessings the blood of our fore- fathers bought, 
 
 And their children will scorn their bright glory to 
 
 stain. 
 
 Let Columbians then welcome grim war's dire 
 alarms ! 
 And assert to the world, and maintain that she's 
 free ; 
 Let the patriots and heroes rush boldly to arms, 
 And say u Death or sweet Freedom our motto. 
 ?haD be."

 A Washington again may direct the fell war, 
 
 And a Wayne, or a Hamilton pour the loud fire ; 
 
 A Morgan with vengeance may flame from afar. 
 And a Putnam his soldiers with ardour inspire. 
 
 Then soon, haughty England shall tremble again, 
 (For tyrants must tremble when freemen take 
 arms) 
 And our ships shall exultingly ride o'er the main, 
 For Columbians are born to know Liberty's 
 charm?. 
 
 
 ON THE RANDOLPH FRIGATE, 
 
 Blown up near Barbadoes, 177;- 
 
 • 
 
 WHAT distant thunders reive! the skies* 
 What clouds of smoke in columns rise, 
 
 What means this dreadful roar ! 
 Is from his base Vesuvius thrown, 
 Is sky-topt Atfas tumbled dov.n, 
 
 Or Etna's self no more ? 
 
 Shock alter shock torments m? ear ; 
 And lo ! — two hostile ships appear, 
 
 Red lightnings round them glow : 
 The Yarmouth boasts of sixty-four, 
 The Randolph thirty-t^o — no more — 
 
 And will she fi^ht this foe ! 
 
 The Randolph soon on Stygian streams 
 Shall coast along the land of dreams, 
 
 The island of the dead ! 
 But fate, that parts them on the deep. 
 May save the Briton yet to weep 
 
 His days of victory fled. 
 
49 
 
 Sa\\ who commands that dismal blaze, 
 Where yonder starry streamer plays : 
 
 Does Mars with Jove engage ! 
 'Tis Diddle wings those angry fires, 
 Biddle, whose bosom Jove inspires 
 
 With more than mortal rage. 
 
 Tremendous flash ! — and hark, the ball 
 Drives through old Yarmouth, flames and all ; 
 
 Her bravest sons expire ; 
 Did Mars himself approach so nigh, 
 Even Mars, without disgrace, might fly 
 
 The Randolph's fiercer fire. 
 
 The Briton views his mangled crew, 
 And shall we strike to thirty-two ? — 
 (Said Hector, stain'd with gore) 
 M Shall Britain's fiao; !o these descend — 
 l * Rise and the glorious conflict end, 
 k< Britons, I ask no more !" 
 
 He spoke — they charg'd their cannon round. 
 Again the vaulted heavens resound, 
 
 The Randolph bore it all: 
 Then fix'd her pointed cannons true — 
 Away the unwieldy vengeance flew , 
 
 Britain, thy warriors full. 
 
 The Yarmouth saw, with c^re dismay, 
 Her wounded hull, shrcuds shot away. 
 
 Her boldest heroes dead — 
 She saw amidst her floating slain 
 The conquering Randolph stem the main — 
 
 She saw, she turn'ct — and fled ! 
 
 That hour, blest chief, had she been thine, 
 Dear Biddle, had the powers divine 
 Bnen kindas thou wert brave ; 
 
 E 
 
50 
 
 But Fate, whodoom'd thee to expirt 
 Prepar'd an arrow, tipt with fire, 
 And mark'd a watery grave. 
 
 And in that hour, when conquest came 
 Wing'd at his ship a pointed flame, 
 
 That not even he* could shun — 
 The battle ceas'd, the Yarmouth fled, 
 The bursting Randolph ruin spread, 
 
 And left her task undone !

S3 
 THE LAND OF LIBERT Y 
 
 LO ! where yon shore enraptur'd stands display'd, 
 
 And the c:iim soul with bliss ecstatic swells ; 
 Where virtue smiles, in modest garb array'd, 
 
 And meek contentment uncorrupted dwells, 
 There lays Columbia! Independent. Free, 
 There reigns unceasing, Peace and Liberty ! 
 There live the sens of now-departed sires, 
 
 Who like their fathers will their rights defend. 
 Whose breasts the smallest insult quickly fires, 
 
 Who ne'er to princes, nor to kings will bend. 
 
 For, as brave patriots, they never can see 
 Oppression reign, where now smiles Liberty ! 
 There liv'd great Washington by all rever'd, 
 
 There Schuyler died, and Warren bled ; 
 There rests a Putnam, once to all endear'd, 
 
 There sleeps a Wayne amongst the silent dead ! 
 While poor Columbia mourns her sons so brave, 
 And weeps lamenting o'er each hero's grave ! 
 There all are free ! united there they live, 
 
 Maintain their rights with patriotic zeal ; 
 Like kindred friends, each other's wants relieve, 
 
 A bright example, for each other, (eel ! 
 
 And with their fathers' blood this bliss was bought, 
 For it they bled, for it they nobly fought ! 
 There does the foreigner, driv'n from the land 
 
 That ga- birtji, hy dire oppression, hie ! 
 
 And soon i ted, joins the patriot band, 
 
 Who live United, but Divided die ! 
 Then, there contented spends his days in peace> 
 In thoughtless ea<=e, tranquillity and bliss ! 
 Delightful place ! above all nations blest, 
 
 E 2 
 
14 
 
 It dreads no Despot's vile, offensive, nod ; 
 A people ne'er by tyranny opprest, 
 
 Who fear no mortal, tho' they fear a God ! 
 Thus do they live intrepid, firm, and brave, 
 And thus they die and sink into the grave ! 
 Then, may sweet health and plenty round them smil 
 
 May peace and pleasure with them ever reign ; 
 And soft ey'd Mirth, each tedious hour beguile, 
 
 Pluck from the wounded breast the thorn of pain 
 And may Columbia live for ever free, 
 Maintain her Rights, her Laws, her Liberty 
 
 WAR SONG. 
 
 TO arms, to arms, in haste arouse, 
 
 And boldly stride the warlike field ; 
 Go meet the tyrants, base-born slaves, 
 And point them to their op'ning graves. 
 Or bid the daring vassals yield. 
 
 'Tis Freedom's cause invokes your aid. 
 
 Off, noble freemen, hence, away ; 
 f ioud let the trumpets sound afar, 
 The drums proclaim the rage of war, 
 
 And every loyal heart be gay. 
 
 Proud Britain shall be humbled low, 
 And own the equal rights of man 
 The brave that fight in freedom's cause, 
 Shall teach respect to Freedom's laws, 
 For aacred Justice leads the van. 
 
 Then warriors rouse, shake off your fears, 
 
 Great Independence loudly calls ; 
 March boldly through Canadian snows, 
 Let Quebec meet your heaviest blows, 
 And quickly raze her towering walls. 
 
55 
 
 What though you fall beneath the pile ? 
 
 The gen'rous heroes' tomb is near ; 
 There sleeps the great Montgomery, blest, 
 Brave Wolfe reclines in peaceful rest, 
 
 The warrior's deathless fame is here. 
 
 Death! 'tis a name, an empty sound ! 
 
 That ne'er disarm'd, nor shook the brave : 
 Then fight for Independence just, 
 For though the hero sink to dust. 
 
 The wreathes of glory deck his grave. 
 
 Fame shall exalt his name to heav ? n, 
 And bear it on her sacred scroll ; 
 
 For when a Freeman bravely dies, 
 
 His worth like incense shall arise, 
 'Till fleeting time shall cease to roll. 
 
 Ihen rouse to arms, your country calls, 
 
 Hence march to meet the foe afar ; 
 Charge home like men, make sure the day, 
 And drive the dogs of war away, 
 
 mnd, sound, aloud the trump of war. 
 
 THE NAVAL ENGAGEMENT 
 
 Between the republican Frigate L/ Ambuscade. 
 Captain Bumpard • and the British royal Frigate 
 Boston, Captain Courtney, off the coast of P 
 Jersev.— !1792.) 
 
 RESOLVED for a chase, 
 All Frenchmen to face. 
 Bold Boston from Halifax sailed, 
 With a full flowing sheet, 
 
 The pride of the fleet, 
 
 Sot a vessel she saw, but she hailed 
 
H 
 
 56 
 
 With Courtney, commander, who never d id fear 
 Nor returned from a fisfht with " a flea in his ear." 
 
 As they steered for the Hook, 
 Each swore by his book, 
 
 ' No prayers should their vengeance retard ; 
 
 1 They would plunder and burn, 
 
 * They would never return 
 <i Unattended by Captain Bumpard ! 
 is No Gaul can resist us, when once we arouse, 
 u We'll drown the monsieurs in the wash of our 
 bows r 
 
 A sail now appear' d, 
 When towards her they steer'd, 
 Each crowned with his Liberty- Cap ; 
 Under colours of France did they boldly advance, 
 And a small privateer did entrap — 
 The time may have been when their nation was 
 
 brave, 
 But now, their best play is to cheat and deceive. 
 
 Arrived at the spot 
 
 Where they meant to dispute, 
 
 Thus Courtney sent word, in a heat: 
 
 *' Since fighting's our trade, 
 
 u Their bold Ambuscade 
 
 *' Must be sunk, or compelled to retreat : 
 
 " Tell eaptain Bumpard, if his stomach's for war, . 
 
 " To advance from his port, and engage a bold tar.' 
 
 Brave captain Bumpard 
 
 When this challenge he heard. 
 
 Though his sails were unbent from the yards. 
 
 His topmasts struck down. 
 
 And his men half in town ; 
 
 Yet sent back his humble regards — 
 

 57 ' 
 
 Trie challenge accepted ; all hands warn'd on board, 
 Bent their sails, swore revenge, and the frigate un- 
 moor'd. 
 
 The Boston, at sea, 
 
 Being under their lee, 
 
 For windward manoeuvred in vain ; 
 
 'Till night coming on, 
 
 Both lay by 'tiil dawn, 
 
 Then met on the watery plain, / 
 
 The wind at north east, and a beautiful day, 
 
 And the hearts of the Frenchmen in trim for the fray. 
 
 So, to it they went, 
 With determin'd intent 
 The fate of the day to decide 
 By the virtues of power ; 
 (No argument louder 
 Was e'er to a subject applied) 
 A Gaul with a Briton contends, 
 Let them staqd to their guns, and we'll see how it 
 ends. 
 
 As the Frenchman sail'd past, 
 Boston gave him a blast, 
 Glass bottles, case knives, and old nails, 
 A score of round shot, 
 And the devil knows what, 
 To cripple his ma«ts and his sails ; 
 The Boston suppos'd it the best of her play 
 To prevent him from chacing — if she ran a«v I 
 
 The Frenchman most cool, 
 (No hot-headed fool,) 
 Return'd the broadside in a trie*: 
 h^ hot was the blast, 
 
o8 
 
 lie disabled one must, 
 
 And gave thern some rigging to splice, 
 
 Some holes for to plug, where the bullets had gone. 
 
 Some yards to replace, and some heads to put on. 
 
 Three glasses, and more, 
 Their cannons did roar, 
 Shot flying in horrible squads ; 
 'Midst torrents of smoke, 
 The Republican spoke, 
 And frightened the Anglican gods ! 
 Their frigate so maul'd, they no longer defend her, 
 And, Courtney shot down-— they bawled oat to sur- 
 render ! 
 
 11 La ) what a blunder 
 u To provoke this French thunder ! 
 u Think with the devil he deals — 
 " But since we dislike 
 " To surrender and strike, 
 " Let us try the success of our heels : 
 " We may save the king's rigate by running away, 
 * # The Frenchman will have us — all hands — if we 
 " stay I* * m 
 
 So squaring their yards, 
 
 On all captain Bumpards 
 
 A volley of curses they shed — 
 
 Having got their discharge, 
 
 They bore away large, 
 
 While the Frenchman pursued, as they fled. 
 
 But vain was his haste — while his sails he repair'd 
 
 He ended the fray in a chase — 
 
 TheJGaul got the best of the fight, 'tis declared . 
 The Briton— the best of the race »

 AS Nuptune trae'd the azure main 
 That own'd, so late, proud Britain's reign 
 A floating pile approach'd his car, 
 The scene of terror and of war. 
 
 As nearer still the monarch drew 
 
 [Her starry flag display d to view] 
 
 He ask'd a Triton of his train 
 
 " What flag was this that rode the main jt- 
 
 <( A ship of such a gallant mien 
 
 This many a day I have not seen, 
 
 To no mean power can she belong, 
 
 <r So swift, so warlike, stout, and strong.

 Whose trident awes the waves to sleep. 
 [ Replied a Triton of his train] 
 " This ship, that stems the western main, 
 
 ' To those new, rising States belongs, 
 Who, in resentment of their wrongs, 
 Oppose pioud Britain's tyrant sway, 
 ' ' And combat her, by land and sea. 
 
 " This pile, of such superior fame,

 JEFFERSON AND LIBERTY. 
 
 »B 
 
 Ye sons of Columbia who cherish the prize, The 
 
 arms of your fathers so valiantly gain'd, Like the 
 
 sun unobscur'd may your glory arise, And your 
 
 i g fe mppl 
 
 lib - erties flourish forev-er unstain'd, While 
 
 -z£ 
 
 m 
 
 Mars clad in gore, bids the far thunders roar, May 
 
 gli^iliiH 
 
 freedom and peace bless our dear native shore, And 
 
 I jVr may the «ons of Columbia be slaves, While the 
 
65 
 
 lliilgi 
 
 
 earth bears a plant, or the sea rolls in waves. 
 
 By art more than arms our foes have long try'd, 
 
 To lead the brave sons of Colombia in slav'ry, 
 
 Their force we've withstood, and their power 
 
 defy'd, 
 And repuls'd each attack with republican 
 brav'ry. 
 
 Though our internal foes, 
 May our freedom oppose, 
 Our firmness and zeal, to the universe shows, 
 « That ne'er will, &c. 
 
 The agents of Briton like fiends in disguise, 
 
 Have kindled the fire of faction around us ; 
 Yet unaw'd by the flame we united arise, 
 To pull down the Babel that strove to con- 
 found us. 
 
 All intrigue is in vain, 
 We'll united remain ; 
 And our rights and our liberties ever maintain. 
 
 And ne'er shall, &c. 
 
 Calumny and falsehood in vain raise their voice > 
 To blast our republican's fair reputation, 
 
 But Jefferson still is American's choice, 
 
 And he will her liberties guard from inva- 
 sion'. 
 
66 
 
 Tis the wretches who want, 
 To unite church and estate, 
 That the name of M'Kean, truth, and Jefferson 
 hate. 
 
 But ne'er will, &c. 
 
 Cloak'd up in religion they've nothing to fear, 
 Intrigue there may triumph and vice be de- 
 fended, 
 How true to their god, and our laws they ap- 
 pear, 
 Whilst destroying that freedom for which we 
 contended. 
 
 Like the serpent of old, 
 Whilst array'd in fine gold, 
 The arrows of death and destruction they hold. 
 
 But ne'er will, &c. 
 
 At freedom's fair temple see Jefferson stand, 
 Unaw'd and unmov'd by the thunder of fac- 
 tion, 
 Let all rrue Americans join hand and hand, 
 And witness this day their heart felt satisfac- 
 tion. 
 
 His much hononr'd name, 
 And his virtue and fame ; 
 In triumphant strains to the world we'll pro- 
 claim. 
 
 And ne'er will, &c* 
 
 Remember election is liberty's race, 
 
 By which noble charter our freedom wc 
 cherish, 
 
M 
 
 At the helm of our nation then Jefferson place, 
 That our free Constitution and rights never 
 perish. 
 
 Still America's pride, 
 In her cause has been try'd, 
 And he in her council was born to preside, 
 That ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slaves, 
 While the earth bears a plant, or the sea rolls 
 in waves. 
 
 AN ODE. 
 
 HAIL! time propitious ! hail the coming day, 
 When justice will resume her ancient sway ; 
 Hail, Congress ! whose unbiass'd firm decrees, 
 Will hold the public title to the seas, 
 'Til! ev'ry nation shall be bath'd in gore 
 And kings, and tyranny, be heard no more ; 
 Hail, patriots, statesmen, sages gone of old, 
 Who valued Independence more than gold, 
 Hail, ye immortal shades of soldiers dead, 
 Who in the tumult of fierce warfare bled. 
 
 In temples which fair nature rears, 
 
 Your ev ? ry worthy deed appears 
 
 There stamp'd ; where marble is not known 
 
 Will be your virtue, and renown ; 
 
 When this great globe is wrapt in flame, 
 
 The latest trumpet shall proclaim, 
 
 Honor be the 'ward of heroes 
 
 Laurels for the victors brows. 
 
 When Hector fell the martial God did weep, 
 His brightest son sunk in eternal sleep, 
 
66 
 
 1 
 
 Achilles dragged him, by his shining car 
 
 The hapless victim of a cruel war. 
 
 This acto'erclouded all the conqu'ror's fame, 
 
 And mark'd with shame, and ignominy his name. 
 
 Lo when our brave Montgomery died, 
 
 Mars stood in radiance, by his side, 
 
 Saw the great warrior there ; and prest 
 
 The lifeless body, to his warlike breast. 
 
 This was an honor due ; which Fame 
 Will o'er the hemispheres proclaim, 
 Wake with her trumpet, slumb'ring worth, 
 And give to battle second birth. 
 
 Rouse our manly indignation, 
 
 Place each hero at his station ; 
 
 Stir up Warren's, Greene's, and Wayne's, 
 
 To lead our armies to the plains. 
 
 Peace weeping, with her olive branch has fled, 
 To the dark vault, where Washington is laid ; 
 There, while the battle lasts, resolv'd to stay 
 When o'er, she'll sparkle with a double ray ; 
 Light, science, commerce, manufactures, art 
 And all that elevates the human heart ; 
 But hark a dreadful storm begins to roll, 
 See ! how it blackens from the arctic pole 
 The angry clouds surcharged with death draw near, 
 And fill the traitors to our land with fear. 
 
 Now on the thunder see he comes, 
 Beat, Columbia, beat the drums, 
 Raise your banners high in air, 
 The God of victory is here \ 
 Behold the fire in his eye, 
 It flashes like the fire of sky ; 
 
i>3 
 
 See lie carries bloody spears 
 Columbia's Freedom ;— now appears. 
 
 Oh ! in the battle may our cannons roar, 
 
 And echo spread the noise from shore to shore, 
 
 Each patriotic breast with vengeance glow, 
 
 To hurl destruction on our common toe: 
 
 Thus our great sires, a brave united host 
 
 Drove lords and hirelings, from our fertile coast ; 
 
 Taught mcnarchs to respect our freeborn right 
 
 Or nobly dar'd them to a noble fight ; 
 
 And shall we tamely yield the greatest good, 
 
 Achiev'd and cherish'd by our lathers' blood.

 Poor are the joys which fools esteem, 
 
 Fading and transitory ; 
 Mirth is as fleeting as a dream, 
 
 Or a delusive story : 
 Luxury leaves a sting behind, 
 Wounding the body and the mind , 
 Only in friendship can we find^ 
 
 Pleasure and solid glory. 
 
 
'1 
 
 Beauty with all its gaudy show, 
 
 Is but a painted bubble ; 
 Short is the triumph wit bestows, 
 
 Full of deceit and trouble : 
 Fame, like a shadow flies away, 
 Titles and dignities decay ; 
 Nothing but Friendship can dispii), 
 
 Joys thai are free from trouble. 
 
 Learning, that boasted glittering things 
 Scarcely is worth possessing ; 
 
 Riches, for ever on the wing, 
 Cannot be call'd a blessing : 
 
 Sensual pleasure swells desire, 
 
 Just as the fuel feeds the fire ; 
 
 Friendship can real bliss inspire, 
 Bliss that is worth possessing. 
 
 Happy the man who has a friend 
 Form'd by the God of nature ; 
 
 Well may he feel and recommend, 
 Friendship with his Creator : 
 
 Then as our hands in friendship join, 
 
 So let our social powers combine ; 
 
 Rul'd by a passion most divine, 
 Friendship with our Creator. 
 
 OLD SEVENTY-SIX. 
 
 Tune . — Yankee Doodle. 
 
 WHEN Freedom's sons, at HeavVs commanr, 
 
 Shook off the British nation, 
 America did then assume 
 
 An independent station. 
 
72 
 
 The Congress then were men of sense , 
 
 And truly patriotic ! 
 They swore they would not pay their pence 
 
 To any king despotic ! 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 And this the law of seventy-six, 
 We swear each to maintain, sir, 
 
 No such vile things, as lords, or kings, 
 Shall in America reign, sir* 
 
 The laws they made were quick obeyd, 
 
 Whigs vied with whigsf or glory : 
 And Jack Burgoyne, like creeping Ned, 
 
 Went home to tell his atory. 
 At Bunker's Hill — Howe had his fill, 
 His troops were mow'd down, sir, 
 r hileGage, poor soul ! who lov'd bones whole, 
 raid to ox it the town, sir. 
 
 And this law. Sec 
 
 lilis next, like frighted mole, 
 At Yorktown burrow'd deep, sir, 
 But Washington, with bombs and gun, 
 Soon ions' d him from his sleep, sir, 
 
 made them prance a Yankee dance, 
 Whilst martial music sounded, 
 ay down their arms rive hundred score, 
 By rebel troops surrounded. 
 
 And this the law, $,$. 
 
 Then straight they flew to George theii 
 
 And told the doleful tale, sir, 
 (few th' rebels swarm 'd throughout the land** 
 
 And cover'd hill and dale, s ; r, 
 
73 
 
 His courtiers too did round him throng, 
 
 And all to make him easy ; 
 No consolation could afford, 
 
 Alas ! it drove him crazy. 
 
 And this the law, Sec* 
 
 And now, behold his vengeful frown, 
 
 Brimful of wrath and chagrin, 
 Keeps western posts, and takes our ships, 
 
 And won't stand to his bargain. 
 Then let's unite, assert our right, 
 
 Thrash his majestic back, sir, 
 Starve all their isles, confound their wiles, 
 
 And turn up t'other jack, sir. 
 
 And this law, &c. 
 
 Whole hosts of priests and kings combin'd, 
 (For their own preservation) 
 
 tWith gogs and magogs, emp'ror too, 
 A pretty combination ! 
 But Frenchmen they, inarch brisk away, 
 
 And shoot, and flash, and scare 'em, 
 Ca Ira sing, and Marseil'ois hymn, 
 And bayonet all before them. 
 
 And this the law, &c^ 
 
 The Duke of York — light as a cork, 
 
 In 'letter to his pappy, 
 " My grenadiers have beat Monsieurs, 
 
 And made me truly happy ! 
 Then pappy banish all your fears, 
 
 l^ve made this protestation, 
 To fight it out, and bring about 
 
 Their total extirpation. 
 J And this the law, &&. 
 
u Our loss is small, scarce none at all, 
 
 Compar'd with th' eirmy's losses, 
 We've lost, big, little, great and small, 
 
 Three men, two hundred horses. 
 I could do no less, than send express, 
 
 (For vict'ry always pleases) 
 I've tak'n a town — it ; all mv own, 
 
 The French call it — Landrec ies.' 5 
 
 And then this law, &.l, 
 
 In vain the lion boast his strength, 
 
 That none's so strong as he, sir, 
 For now, behold ! reverse of fvte ! 
 
 Down on ii is bene!."! .j\ee, st. 
 Thus fares it with tkaxe tyrant ->>u!s, 
 
 Who th' rights of m^n oppose, si , 
 While 'gallic cock pick'd our his eyes, 
 
 The snapper pimi'd his nose, sir, 
 
 And i\\\< the law, &c. 
 
 Prophets of old, have long foretold, 
 
 And also revelation, 
 Most clear point out, beyond a d nib 
 
 Tii' downfall uf T>'ii:s] natioji. 
 For their Alpha and Oiiug', 
 
 Wili sure ropit to an ernl ■-■ >n, 
 Give 'em a kick, and tell oid

 in amaze, he stood to gaze, 
 The truth can't be denied, sir, 
 He spy'd a score of kegs — or more, 
 Come floating down the tide, sir. 
 
76 
 
 A sailor too, in jerkin blue, 
 
 The strange appearance viewing, 
 
 First rubb'd his eyes, in great surprise, 
 Then said — some mischief's brewing. 
 
 These kegs now hold the rebels bold, 
 Pack'd up like pickled herring : 
 
 And they're comedown »' attack the town, 
 In this new way of ferrying. 
 
 The soldier flew, the sailor too., 
 And scar'd almost to death, sir, 
 
 Wore out their shoes, to spread the news, 
 And ran till out of breath, sir. 
 
 Now up and down, thoughout the town, 
 Most frantic scenes were acted ; 
 
 And some ran here, and some ran there, 
 Like men almost distracted. 
 
 Some fire cry'd, which some deny'd, 
 But said the earth had quaked : J 
 
 And girls and boys, with hideous noise, 
 Ran thro' the streets half naked. I 
 
 Sir William* he, snug as a flea, 
 
 Lay all this time a snoring, 
 Nor dreamt of harm, as he lay warm, 
 
 In bed with Mrs. Loring. 
 
 Now in a fright, he starts upright, 
 
 Awak d by such a clatier : , 
 
 Jie rubs both eyes, and boldly cries, 
 € For God's sake, what's the matter V 
 
 * Sir William Howe. 
 
77 
 
 At his bed side he then espy'd 
 
 Sir Erskine* at command, sir, 
 Upon one foot he had one boot, 
 
 And t'other in his hand, sir. 
 
 Arise! arise! Sir Erskine cries : 
 
 The rebels* — more's the pity — 
 Without a boat, are all on float, 
 
 And ranged before the city. 
 
 The motly crew, in vessels new, 
 With Satan for their -guide, sir, 
 
 Pack'd up in ba<j;s, or wooden kegs, 
 Come driving down the tide, sir. 
 
 Therefore prepare for bloody war ; 
 
 These kejrs must all be routed : 
 Or surely we despis'd. shall be ; 
 
 And British courage doubted. 
 
 The royal band now ready stand- 
 All r ing'd in dread array, sir, 
 
 With stomach scout, to see it out> 
 And make a bloody day, sir. 
 
 The cannons roar, from shore to shore .v 
 The small arms make a rattle ; 
 
 Since wars began, I'm sure no man 
 E'er saw so strange a battle. 
 
 The rebel \ vales, the rebel dales, 
 
 With rebel trees surrounded, 
 The rebel woods, and hills and flood**. 
 
 With rebel echoes sounded. 
 
 * Sir William Erskine. 
 f The British officers were so fond of the word rebel, 
 that they often applied it most absurdly. 
 
 G 2 
 
73 
 
 The fish below, swam to and fro, 
 
 Attack'd from ev'ry quarter ; 
 Why sure, thought they, the deal's to pay 
 
 'Mongst folks above the water. 
 
 The kegs, 'tis said, thro' strongly made, 
 Or* rebel staves and hoops, sir, 
 
 Could not oppose their powerful foes, 
 The conqu'ring British troops, sir. 
 
 From morn to night, these men of might 
 
 Display'd amazing courage ; 
 And when the sun was fairly down, 
 
 Retird to sup their porridge. 
 
 An hundred men, with each a pen, 
 
 Or more, upon my word, sir, 
 It is most rrue, would be to few, 
 
 Their valour to record, sir. 
 
 Such feats did they perform that day 
 
 Upon these wicked kegs, sir, 
 That years to come, if they get home, 
 
 They'll make their boasts and brags, sir. 
 
 THE SOLDIER'S DREAM. 
 
 NIGHT, blessed night, had gently spread, 
 Her curtain round the soldier's head ; 
 When as pale Hecate's hour begun. 
 Appear'd the form of Washington. 
 
 I saw Columbia's Saviour rise, 
 And mark'd the fury in his eyes : 
 I saw him wield a gleaming sword, 
 And heard with joy the hero's word. 
 
79 
 
 Soldier be firm, intrepid, brave, 
 And meiu'i y shall your deeds engrave ; 
 Your cause is just, the just must sway, 
 This says the KING, whom I Joey. 
 
 Where loudest wars the thunders sound, 
 Where greatest shakes the bloody ground, 
 Where execution most is done, 
 Will be, your former champion. 
 
 Soldiers, be resolute in heart, 
 Freedom and thee shall never part ; 
 Unsheathed let your sword remain 
 To cut away your country's stain. 
 
 The sudden voice of buglehorn, 
 Now introduced the blazing morn : 
 But still the hero is with rue, 
 America and Liberty. 
 
 YANKEE TARS 
 
 COMRADES, jf in the flag of glory, 
 C liter ly tread the deck of fame ; 
 
 Earn a place in future story, 
 
 Seek and win a warrior's name. 
 
 Yankee Tars can laugh at dangers : 
 While the roaring mountain wave 
 
 Teems with carnage — they are stranger 
 To a deed that is not brave. 
 
 May our banner'd stars, as ever, 
 Splendidly o'er freemen burn, 
 
 Till the night of war is over, 
 Till the dawn of peace return.

 And bids it dare the grave.

 Each free man at his post, 
 Shall arm to arm engage. 
 
 And while the storm beats high, 
 Columbia's sons advance, 
 Nor fear like men to die, 
 Or share victorious chance 
 
 The rage of war grows hot, 
 The falling victims die,

 Where brave Columbians lie. 
 
 The storm is black with death, 
 The vivid lightnings blaze ; 
 But still, the sce-ner'd wreathe, 
 Thy arm, O Freedom 1 sways, 
 
 Columbia's sons shall rise, 
 And crush the tyrant low ; 
 For if they frown, he dies, 
 And meets his overthrow.

 THE TRIPLE VICTORY, 
 
 NO more of such blathering nonsense, 
 9 Bout the Nelsons of old Johnny Bull ; 
 I'll sing you a song, 'pon my conscience, 
 'Bout Jones and Decatur and Hull ! 
 Dad Neptune, has long, with vexation, 
 Beheld with what insolent pride, 
 The turbulent, billow-wash'd Nation, - 
 Has aim'd to control his salt tide. 
 
 CtiORUS. 
 Sing lather away jonteel and aisy ; 
 By my soul, at the game Hob-a-Nob^ 
 In a very few minutes we'll please ye, 
 Because we do work by the job. 
 
 There was Dacres at vaunting and boasting, 
 His equal you'll seldom come near ! 
 But Hull, betwixt Sinking and Roasting, 
 Despatched his proud frigate Guerriere ! 
 Such treatment ro him was a wonder, 
 Which serv'd his proud spirit to choke, 
 
 H I 
 
90 
 
 And when to the bottom our thunder 
 Had sent her, we laughM at the joke. 
 Sing lather away jonteel and aisy ; 
 For Hull, at the game Hob-a-Nob, 
 Is the boy that will surely amaze ye, 
 So well he can work by the job. 
 
 T'other day worse than gout, fit or cholic, 
 
 The Wasp, with brave Biddle and Jones, 
 
 So terribly Stung the poor Frolic ; 
 
 As left her, but bare skin and bones. 
 
 She struck, but what could she do better ? 
 
 For time, there was none to delay ; 
 
 Indeed it must terribly fret her 
 
 To see she could not run away. 
 
 Sing lather away jonteel and aisy, 
 For Jones, at the game Hob-a-Nob, 
 Is the boy that will quickly amaze ye > 
 Because he takes work by the job. 
 
 Now to augment our brave little navy, 
 And add to the pride of each state, 
 Decatur, without fat or gravy, 
 Has dress'd Alexander the Great I 
 By my soul to prevent further trouble, 
 And save a disgraceful downfall, 
 Since they find all resistance a bubble, 
 They'll strike without fighting at all. 
 Sing lather away jonteel and aisy, 
 Decatur to play Hob-a-Nob, 
 Will in seventeen minutes amaze ye, 
 Huzza ! 'twas a quick finish'd job.

 In Congress with joy, met the guardians of our 
 rights, 
 Determin'd to give to merit its renown : 
 And surrounded the brows which the hardy tar 
 
 requites 
 With a fair wreath and a fam'd laurel crown, — 
 And the loud trump of Fame o'er earth and 
 ocean sounding, 
 With Barron, Preble, Talbot, and Decatur's 
 name resounding ; 
 And our fame at Tripoli, recorded still shall 
 
 be, 
 And our fame at Tripoli, recorded still shall 
 be, 
 And freedom's loving choir sing the glories of 
 that day. 
 
 Huzza ! huzza ! huzza ! &c. 
 
 Arise ! arise I you sprightly sons of mirth, 
 Receive your protectors with open arms re- 
 turning : 
 And view the spoils they with their blood have 
 bought : 
 Columbia's flag high waving in the air.

 And the American seaman henceforward shall 
 be pennM, 
 A terror to his foe and an honour to his friend; 
 From the scourge of Tripoli, our children shall 
 
 be free, 
 From the scourge of Tripoli, our children shall 
 be free, 
 And millions yet unborn shall rejoice in our 
 • fame. 
 
 Huzza ! huzza ! huzza. &e. 
 
 DECATUR'S VICTORY. 
 
 TO the court of old Neptune, the God of the 
 
 sea ; 
 The sons of Columbia sent a petition, 
 That he their protector, and patron would be ; 
 When this answer arriv'd, free from terms, 
 or condition : 
 
 Repair to the sea ; 
 
 You conqu'rers shall be ; 
 And proclaim to the world, that Columbia is free 1 
 Beside my proud trident Decatur shall be^i, ■ 
 And the laurels of vict'ry triumphantly wear ! 
 
 The Tritons arose from their watery bed ; 
 And soundino- their trumpets ; i^Eolus attended, 
 Who summoned his Zephyrs, and to them he said, 
 Old Neptune Columbia's cause has befriended. 
 
 As the world you explore, 
 
 And revisit each shore, 
 To all nations proclaim the glad sound ever- 
 
 ••• .

 That Decatur old Neptune's proud Trident shall 
 
 bear, 
 
 ■ 
 
 And the laurels of Vict'ry triumphantly wear • 
 
 The Naiads, in chariots of coral so bright, 
 
 SkinVd swiftly the wide liquid plain, quite en- 
 chanted : 
 
 Soon the proud Macedonian gladdened their sight, 
 
 And Decatur advancing, with courage undaunt- 
 ed ! 
 
 They saw with -i smile, 
 The fast anch^r'dv isle, 
 
 Resigning the laurels, obtaind at the Nile ! 
 
 And when victory crown 1 d brave Columbia's 
 cause, W 
 
 The trumpet of Fame shook the* world with ap- 
 plause ! 
 
 Dame Amphitrire flew to the Archives above, 
 To see the great mandate of Neptune recorded, 
 When tracing :he records of Libyan Jove, 
 To find where renown to % brave deeds was 
 
 awarded, 
 
 There Washington's name, 
 Recorded by Fame, 
 Resplendent as light, to her view quickly came ! 
 In raptures she cries, here Decatur Til place, 
 On the page, which the deeJs of brave Wash 
 
 ingtou grace ! 
 
 Now charge all your glasses with sparkling wine. 
 And toast our brave tars, that so bravelv defend 
 
 us ; 
 While our Nav \\ Commanders so noblv com- 
 
 bine, 
 
We defy all the ills haughty foes e'er can send 
 us ! 
 
 While our goblets do flow i 
 The praises we owe, 
 To Valour and Skill, we will gladly bestow, 
 And may grateful the sons of Columbia be ! 
 To Decatur, whom Neptune crowns Lord of 
 the sea I

 Awav ! with the vultures of War and Ambition, 
 Who headlong to rearing of navies would run, 
 Those cancers of nations — those pits of perdi- 
 tion — 
 Where Britain and France will alike be un- 
 done : 
 Far nobler the arts of our country to nourish, 
 
 Its true independence and pow'rs to increase, 
 And while our resources of industry flourish, 
 To hail the glad blessings of Freedom and 
 Peace. 
 
 Then Freedom and Peace, &c. 
 
 • The storm we defy— it may roar at a distance, 
 Unmov'd and impregnable here we remain ; 
 We ask not of Europe for gifts or assistance, 
 But Justice, Goqd-Faith, and the Rights of

 Should these be refus'd, — in ourselves we're a 
 world : — 
 And those who may dare its domains to in- 
 vade, 
 To death and destruction at once shall be hurl'd, 
 For Freedom hath sworn it, and shall be 
 obey'd ! 
 
 Then Freedom and Peace. &c. 
 
 We want neither emperor, king, prince, nor 
 marshal, 
 Navies to plunder, nor Indies to fleece ; 
 
llX) 
 
 Our honest Decrees are, " To ail be impai

 Our Orders of Council, still " Freedom and

 And infamy light on the head of the traitor 
 Who tramples her laws for base lucre and

 Then Freedom and Peace, &c. 
 
 Look round on your country, Columbians, un- 
 daunted, 
 From Georgia to Maine — from the Lakes to

 Is one human blessing or luxury wanted 
 
 That flows not amongst us unmeasured and

 Our harvests sustain half the wide eastern world, 
 Our mines and our forestsexhaustless remain ;

 The triumphs of freedom alar ; 
 Our song be Decatur and Liberty bfsr,

 The gallant commander and all his brave hand, 
 
 Rejoice at the sight of the foe ; 
 Three cheers give the signal; each heart and

 Conspires to strike the firm blow. 
 
 Then, furious, the cannons' fierce thundering!

 Death speedily follows the blaze, 
 The dead and the dying be cover'd with gore, 
 
 While Freedom the contest surveys. 
 
 Sweet Goddess 1 that guides us to glory and 
 fame, 
 And rides in the terrible blast, 
 
103 
 
 Now give to Decatur a glorious name, 
 That long as his country shall last. 
 
 The fierce Macedonian soon yields to the fotv, 
 She yields to the gallant and brave ; 
 
 Success to our sailors wherever they go, 
 And in death, sweet peace to their grave, 
 
 Huzza to the brave that triumphantly ride, 
 
 And traverse the boisterous sea, 
 Columbia's glory, her honour and pride, 
 
 And freedom's fair bulwark shall be. 
 
 Our brave, gallant Navy shall sooner or later, 
 
 The ocean, victorious, plough, 
 And liberty, conquest, with noble Decatur, 
 
 Shall make the proud Albion bow. 
 
 The Tars of Columbia were born to be brave, 
 Their birthright is Liberty blest ; 
 
 To shield it from insult, from ruin to save ; 
 Shall long be the pride of each breast. 
 
 Then hail to our Navy, all hail in a bumper ! 
 
 And Jones, and Decatur, and Hull, 
 May Rodgers soon meet the fierce roving 
 " Plumper,'* 
 
 And drub bis old friend Johnny Bull.

 The sire of the gods, from his crystalline

 And mov'd with her tears, he sent Mercury 
 down, 
 
 And these were the rdings that came : 
 Britannia forbear, not a sigh nor a tear 
 
 For thy Wolfe, so deservedly lov'd ; 
 Thy grief shall be changed into tumults of joy: 
 
 For thy Wolfe is not dead, but removed. 
 
 The sons of the earth, the proud giants of old, 
 
 Have fled from their darksome abodes ; 
 And such is the news that in heav'n is told, 
 
 They are marching to war with the gods : 
 A council was held in the chamber of Jove, 
 
 And this was their final decree : 
 That Wolfe should be call'd to the army above, 
 
 And the charge was entrusted to me. 
 
 To the plains of Quebec with the orders I flew: 
 
 Wolfe begg'd for a moment's delay : 
 He cry'd, O forbear, let me victory hear, 
 
 And then thy command I'll obey. 
 With a darkening film I encompass'd his eyes, 
 
 And bore him away in an urn ; 
 Lest the fondness he bore to his own native 
 shore, 
 
 Might tempt him again to return. 
 
 HULL, JONES, DECATUR AND BAINBRIDGE.

 Who for converse and mirth here assemble to-

 j Or serious or gay, o'er your wine, punch, 
 i or nappy, 
 
106 
 
 So cheerful and happy — be ir foul or fair wea- 
 ther, 
 We've a new theme for story — and national 
 glory ; 
 
 Not the glory that glistens round tyrants and 
 thrones, 
 But the glory of Freemen — the valor of Sea- 
 men, 
 
 1 mean brave Decatur, Hull, Bainbridge and 
 Jones. 
 
 Gome put round the pitcher, 
 Good liquor invites us — the occasion much more, 
 Once a month should a frigate — here bring 
 us to swig it, 
 Our bumpers, like broadsides — we'll fire o'er 
 and o'er, 
 In seventeen minutes, despatch all that's in it. 
 And like Hull and Decatur — make them alter 
 their tones, 
 Or as Jones cured the cholic — in Johnny 
 Bull's Frolic, 
 Or Bainbridge the Java gave to Old Davy 
 Jones. 
 
 Once more let us charge — 
 May our arms, as at sea, he glorious on shore, 
 
 May men of merit command men of spirit, 
 Who by skill like our seamen our fame shall re 
 store, 
 And whene'er we invade, may no gasconade, 
 Cause the foe's derision and our citizen's groans, 
 But disregarding all faction — seek to rival 
 in action, 
 The glory of Decatur, Hull, Bainbridge and 
 Jones.

 JONES'S VICTORY. 
 
 YE brave sons of freedom, whose bosoms 
 beat high, 
 For your country, with patriot pride and emo- 
 tion, 
 Attend while I sing of a wonderful Wasp, 
 And the Frolic she gallantly took on the ocean. 
 
 This tight little Wasp of true Yankee stuff, 
 From the shores of Columbia indignant paraded ; 
 Her eyes flash'd with fire, and her spirit flatp'd 
 
 high, 
 For her rights they were basely by Britons in- 
 vaded. 
 
 Swift over the wave from the combat 
 iiew, 
 
 By a sting keen and terrible arnVd and defend- 
 ed ; 
 
 Her broad wings were white as the rough ocean 
 spray, 
 
 And sixteen long arms from her c idc she ex* 
 tended. 
 
HI 
 
 The winds waft her gaily — but soor e 
 
 way, * j^jd 
 
 The foe of her father for battle array'd hinnr*- 
 From his forehead were waving the standard of 
 
 Spain ; 
 But the proud step and stare of his nation be- 
 trayed him. 
 
 Like the fierce bird of Jove, the Wasp darted 
 forth, 
 
 And, be the tale told with amazement and won- 
 der ! 
 
 She hurl'd on the foe, from her flame spreading 
 arms, 
 
 The fire brands of death, and the red bolts of 
 thunder ! 
 
 And oh! it was glorious and strange to behold, 
 What torrents of fire from her red mouth she 
 
 threw, 
 And how from her broad wings and sulphurous 
 
 sides, 
 Hot showers of grape shot and rifle balls flew ! 
 
 The foe bravely fought, but his arms were 
 
 all broken, 
 And he flew from his death-wound, aghast and 
 
 affrighted ; 
 But the Wasp darted forward her death-doing 
 
 sting, 
 And full on its bosom, like lightning, alighted. 
 
 She piercM through his entrails, she mad- 
 den'd his brain, 
 And he vvrith'd and he groan'd as if torn with 
 the cholic ; 
 
112 
 
 i \^g shall John Bull rue the terrible day, 
 h~ .. the American Wasp in a Frolic. 
 
 1 he tremors of death now invaded his limbs, 
 And the streams of his life blood, his closing 
 
 eyes drawn ; 
 When lo ! on the wave, his colossus of pride, 
 The glory and pomp of John Bull, tumbled down. 
 
 Now drink to the navy, and long may its sons, 
 Like the heroes of Rome, and of Carthage and 
 
 Greece, 
 Midst the downfall of nations, triumphantly 
 
 bear, 
 The barque of our country, to freedom and 
 
 peace. 
 
 Now drink to Decatur, and Rodgers and Hull* 
 And to ev'ry brave heart, to his country that s 
 
 true ; 
 But never forget whilst the glass circles round, 
 The fame of the Wasp, her Commander, and 
 
 Crew.

 SONG. 
 
 A NEW way, in battle to give sailors spunk 
 
 Ratty tatty, ratty tatty, 
 Is to make the ship's crew abeut three parts 
 drunk, 
 
 Ratty tattoo tattoo. 
 
 The British commanders (there is not a doubt) 
 This capital method must have found out, 
 And now put in practice, to me doth seem clear, 
 And if two or three minutes you will lend an 
 
 ear, 
 To what I am singing I'll make it appear, 
 
 Ratty tatty tattoo. 
 When Rodgers so wickedly, that time did pelt, 
 
 Ratty tatty, ratty tatty, 
 With unerring bullets, the ship Little Belt, 
 
 Ratty tattoo tatt«o. 
 
 The ships were so near, one could almost chuck 
 A biscuit 'board either, yet scarce a ball struck, 
 Th* American frigate, which does prove at once, 
 
116 
 
 The British were drunk, and fir'd all by chance, 
 Men sober would ne'er have shot so much as- 
 kance, 
 
 Ratty tatty tattoo. 
 
 When Jones, in the Wasp, made the Frolic a 
 wreck, 
 
 Ratty tatty, ratty tatty, 
 And with dead and wounded so cover'd he* deck. 
 
 Ratty tattoo tattoo. 
 
 The ships were so near, 'tis amazing how Tew 
 Were wounded and kili'd of the Anaei ican crew 
 A single back. woods man, behind a ship's ma \ 
 In one third the time the engagement did last, 
 Could kill thrice the number ; he'd pop them 
 so last ; 
 
 Ratty tatty tattoo. 
 
 I^ecatur's opponent did think (it -terns plait 
 
 Ratty tatty, ratty tatty, 
 The Yankees were all riflemen,

 So at a good distance he prudently thought

 May always the British that fine plan pursue, 
 
 Ratty tatty, ratty tatty, 
 Our gun boats will all then find something to do, 
 
 Ratty tattov tattoo, 
 
117 
 
 The men on the decks have nothing to fear, 
 Though greatly expos'd, they'll always be clear 
 Of danger from gnn-shot, this conclusion I draw 
 From what Rodgers, Decatur, Hull and Jones 
 
 felt and saw, 
 For British Dutch courage then let us huzza.

 Then the crew, two by two, one aft er the other, 
 gave nine cheers, and as if nothing at all ail'd 
 them, they kept singing.

 THE PEACOCK AND HORNET. 
 
 Tune— " Old Granu Weal." 
 
 YE Demos attend, and ye Federalists too, 
 I'll sing you a song that you all know is new, 
 
 It is of a Hornet, true stuff I'll be bail, 
 
 That tickled a Peacock, and lower'd his tail. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 Sing bubboroo dudderoo, Granu Weal, 
 Our Hornets can tickle a British bird's tail. 
 
 Their stings are all sharpened to pierce with* 
 out fail, 
 Success to our navy, says Granu Weal. 
 
 This Peacock was bred in the land of king 
 George, 
 His feathers were fine, and his tail very large, 
 He spread both his wings, like a ship in full sail, 
 And prided himself in the size of his tail. 
 Sing bubboroo dudderoo, &c. 
 
 King George said, my bird, to America go, 
 Each Hornet and Wasp is the British king's 
 foe, 
 Pick them up, my dear bird, spread your wings 
 for the gale, 
 But beware of the insects of Granu Weal. 
 Sing bubboroo dudderoo, &c. 
 
 Away flew the bird at the word of command, 
 His flight was directed to freedom's own land, 
 
 But the Hornet discovered his wings like a sail, 
 And quickly determined to tickle his tail. 
 'Sing bubboroo dudderoo, &c. 
 
1*7 
 
 So to it they went with both beak and sting, 
 The Hornet still working keen under hef 
 wing, 
 American insects, quoth she, I'll be bail, 
 Will ruffle your feathers, and lower your tail. 
 Sing bubboroo dudderoo, &c. 
 
 The Peacock now mortally, under the wing, 
 Did feel the full force of the Hornet's sharp 
 sting, 
 He flatter'd his crest with a wheu and a wail, 
 Sunk down 'fore the Hornet, and lower'd his 
 tail. 
 Sing babboroo dndderoo, &c. 
 
 Success to brave Lawrence, who knows well 
 the nest, 
 Where Hornets and Wasps can with honor 
 still restf, 
 He'll send them with skill and with force I'll be 
 bail, 
 To'humble king-birds, and to tickle their tail. 
 Sing babboroo dudderoo, &c.

 REJOICE ! Rejoice 1 Frcdunia's sons, rejoice ! 
 And swell the loud trumpet in patriotic 
 strain ; 
 Your choice, your choice, fair freedom is yo*:r 
 ': choice, 
 Then celebrate her triumphs on the main.

 For the trident of Neptune, long by Britain 
 
 wielded. 
 At length to Fredonia reluctantly is yielded. 
 
 Then for Hull, Decatur, Jones, 
 
 And for Bainbridge,. swell the tones, 
 
 While the ready hand of fame, 
 
 Bright emblazons every name, 
 Brave Lawrence, gallant Lawrence, now is 
 
 shouted with acclaim. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 Huzza ! huzza ! huzza ! huzza ! huzza ! boys, 
 Free is our soil, and the ocean shall be 
 free, 
 Our tars, shall Mars, protect beneath our 
 stars. 
 And Freedom's Eagle hover o ? er the sea. 
 
 Attend ! attend ! ye gallant tars, attend ! 
 
 While your deeds are recounted in patriotic 
 song ; 
 Ascend ! ascend ! your banners high ascend, 
 And your cannon the loud chorus still pro- 
 long. 
 First the bold Constitution led the path of 
 
 The gallant little Wasp then added to the story i 
 
 Soon a brighter glory waits, 
 
 The renown'd United States, 
 
 For she gave Columbia's fleet 
 
 The new frigate that she beat, 
 While the famM Constitution sunk another in 
 
 the deep. 
 Huzz* ! huzza ! huzza ! &*. 
 
 
129 
 
 Again 1 again ! Columbia's flag again, 
 
 Triumphantly floats where Britannia's used 
 
 to soar ; 
 In vain the main has own'd the Peacock's reign, 
 
 Her gaudy rainbow-honours are no more I 
 She by Lawrence, in the Hornet, was so neatly 
 
 basted. 
 A better roasted bird, Johnny Bull had never 
 
 tasted. 
 
 Till she ended her career, 
 
 Like the Java and Guerriere, 
 
 For the Hornet's sting was ply'd, 
 
 Till the sea, with blushes dy'd, 
 Its tyrant's fifth defeat in its bosom sought to 
 
 hide. 
 Huzza ! huzza ! huzza ! &,c. 
 
 Unite ! unite ! Columbia's sons, unite, 
 
 And hurl on aggressors the tempest they pro* 
 
 voke, 
 The fight is right, then raise your sabres bright, 
 And Britain soon shall tremble at the stroke. 
 The foe's on our coast ! put youi mountain-oaks 
 
 in motion, 
 Fly to the main, for «ur wrongs were on the 
 
 ocean, 
 
 There, in a flood of fire, 
 
 Every tar shall breathe his ire,

 Joy on the hero's soul ;

 The sailors' vengeance roll. 
 She reels ; her tall masts crack, thunder down; 
 
 As on the blood-stain'd gunner's deck, 
 
 All despair, affr'ght and wreck. 
 Now Peake to Lawrence yields Britannia's na- 
 val crown. 
 
 As when two thunder clouds engage, 
 And the fierce lightnings fly ; 
 
131 
 
 As when contending tempests rage, 
 Black'ning with storms the sky ; 
 
 The Hornet so, and so the Peacock met — 
 'Tis Lawrence now conducts to fame j 
 Exulting seamen praise his name, 
 
 For Britain's flag descends — once more her star 
 is set. 
 
 Brazil ! thy distant shore 
 
 Witness'd Columbia's might, 
 When England's haughty power 
 
 Was quell'd in equal fight. 
 Twas justice nerv'd the blow which valom

 The mighty God who rules the world, 
 
 Approved, and saw confusion hurl d 
 On ocean's boasted lord, who dooms the seaman

 Nor fear'd to meet the haughty foe ; 
 
 His flag, the flag of Liberty, 
 
 Flow'd in the breeze and still shall flow 
 Columbia's sons, &c»

 A bird of Albion's daring race, 
 
 Fast mov'd along on airy wing, 
 The Hornet too with naval grace, 
 
 Prepar'd to dart its warmest sting- 
 Columbia's sons, &c. 
 
 The rage of battle warmer grew, 
 
 Death reign'd wirh haughty triumph there, 
 The thundVmg broadsides faster flew, 
 
 Whistling along the floating air. 
 Columbia's sons, &c. ^ 
 
 But lo ! she strikes ; the Peacock's crest, 
 Fast sinks to ocean's coral bed ; 
 
 Down, down she goes ; there let her rest, 
 And peace attend her sleeping dead.

 High in the glowing scro\ of feme, 
 
 In dazzling tints, this deed shall shine

 For she heard the voice of War, resounding 
 
 wide and far, 
 And thus ev'ry jolly tar had resolv'd to Hve

 O'er the ample expanse quickly glanced her eye' 
 
 On the Land, on the Sea, on the clear azure 
 
 Sky, 
 
 When lo ! her own Navy hove clearly in view, 
 
 Her Commodore's Captains and bold hearted 
 
 Crew. 
 
 Each eager for the fight, to maintain a Sai- 
 lor's Right, 
 
 By Decatur, Hull and Jones led on to vic- 
 tory : 
 
 The voice of each heart, I will die or be

 Brave Hull led the van, far abaft was pale fear, 
 He .soon clear'd the decks of the far fam'd 
 Guerriere, 
 Left neither mast nor spars, nor standard for the 
 wars, 
 And her flames glory gleam'd on Columbia's 
 Stars. 
 
 Then shout a loud huzza, our tars give

 And the voice of each heart is Til die or

 Decatur then rose on her extended view, 
 The Hero of Tripoli quickly she knew, 
 
 And with plaudits aloud hail'd her favorite Son, 
 When he laid low the flag of the proud Ma- 
 cedon. 
 
 Loud she heard the cannons roar, and re- 
 echo from the shore, 
 
 Britons boasting is no more, for the tars of 
 Liberty 
 
 Have rights, and will conquer, will die or

 Brave Stewart, Bainbridge, Porter with full 
 sails come on 
 In the glorious path, like our great Washing-

 ML COLUMBIA'S NAVAL ANNALS. 
 
 IN the tight Constitution, our hero departed, 
 Who had Iearn'd how to fight or to fly v 
 
 His ship, she was staunch, and his crew honest 
 hearted, 
 All determin'd to conquer or die. 
 
 They met with a Warrior, by name and by nar 
 ture, 
 That had challeng'd the whole Yankee fleet, 
 Our sailors, they stood, every man at his sta- 
 tion, 
 The Briton disdain'd to retreat. 
 
 In a broadside or two, not a mast was lef* 
 standing, 
 T^e deck it was cover'd with slain ; 
 So Hull gave the Guerriere a good reprimand- 
 ing 
 •For disturbing the rights of the main. 
 
142 
 
 The tight little Wasp stung the foe in the ten- 
 der, 
 Though they thought to have captur'd <t 
 gem; 
 For when her hot bullets had made them sur 
 render, 
 'Twas no longer a Frolic to them. 
 
 And Decatur, the Sailor's delight and his glory, 
 Who once fought on the Barbary main ; 
 
 Determin'd to glitter for ever in story, 
 Claims the merited laurels again. 
 
 He has done, what the boys of antiquity nev( 
 Could do, or believed could be done ; 
 
 For the great Macedonian unconquered ever. 
 His skill and his valour have won 
 
 Then drink to our Seamen, the pride of the na- 
 tion, 
 
 Whose valour's unequall'd in war ; 
 No stain shall e'er sally the proud reputation 
 
 Of the gallant American Tar,
