ffo rax!!ft the following Songs a place in,our
paper, you willoblige,our friend, Bob Jingle.
MAKE room 0 ye kingdoms in hift'iy renowned,
Whose arms have in battle with glory been
crowned:
Make room, for America, another great nation,
Arises to claim in your councils a Ration.
Her sons fought for Freedom, and by their own
bravery,
Have rescu'd themselves from the (hackles of slavery:
AmeiicTs free, and tho' Britain abhor'd it,
Yet Fame a new volume prepares to record it.
Fair Freedom in Britain her throne had erected,
But her sons growing venal and fhedifrefpe&ed,
The goddess offended forfook the bale nation,
And fix'd on our mountains, a more honor'd Ration.
With glory immortal, die here fits enthroned,
Nor fears the vain vengeance of Britain, disowned;
Whilst Washington guards her, with heroes sur
rounded,
Her foes (hall with (hameful defeat be confounded.
To arms, then, to arms, tis fair freedom invites us,
The trumpet shrill founding, to battle excites us;
The banners of Virtue, unfurl'd, (hall wave o'er us,
Our Heroe lead on, and our foes fly before us.
On Heav't and Washington placing reliance,
We'll meet the bold Britton and bid him defiance,
Our cause we'll support, for 'tis just and 'tis glorious,
When men fight for Freedom they must be victorious.
The T 0 A S T.

For he is our glory and pride:
Our arms (hall in battle with conquest be crown'd,
Whilß Virtue and He's on our fide.
'This Wafoington's Health; loud cannon should roar,
And trumpets the truth fhculd proclaim;
There cannot be found, search all the world o'er,
His equal in Virtue and Fame,
'Tis Waforagtons Health; our Heroe to b!efs,
May Heav'n look graciously down!
Oh, long may be live! our hearts to possess,
And Freedom Rill call him her own!
