And give to rapture ev'ry votive line!
To British Loyalty my lays belong,
To British ire and energy divine'.
Britannia. hail ! bright Empress of the Main,
From Ganges' stream to Mi.sissippi's wave!
Approach, her sous, approach her Baer-* Pane,
And learn, with, nobler raee, your foe to brave.
Long hail thou stood the tempest's direful rage,
Firm as a rock amidst contending seas.
What haughty powerdares thy are engage*
But in the end submits to thy decrees

For lie above, whose equitable sway
Thro' the unbounded universe extends,
Change.; the 'Fyratit'a realness to dismay,
And to His yoke th' inhuman monster bends.

And shall tbisConicao, with mighty threat,
Think to intimidate a tact so !odd ?
No, Britons, no l—..your liberty is sweet;
And bot thro' seas of blood is to he sold !

Shall this vile Upstart.... his detested fiend,
Destroy a free.boeu nation at a blast'
Of equity, thou everlasting friend !
Tills edict OS Britannia hut thou put !
Ah ! shall she sink beneath the impious arm
Of nut who turns apostate to thy laws'
Ah no! tar other thoughts our bosom warm,
Too noble, too divine her injured cause !
No, &roiled Queen ! thy sons are far too brave ;
By tato° conscious of their high descent!
What made Cori is wis ears keep the Cultic wave
Till the dire storm had all its fury spent!
Alt ! where are Nations, Nowa, and Yuman? deg
DUNCAN, and others of immortal name?
Chiefs that Britannia's awful thunders sprang,
And strike tlt' opponent pow'rs with grid end &Me.
Ye other patriots, who so boldly rise
Through the whole realm, united we me%
Sir, has e'er such an incense ressehM the skies
Since to extend her empire sbe began,
Invade a nation so prepar'd and Wong !
Will an ambitious fee so wildly lame
If so, try countrymen, to you belong
To guard from fell oppnissies sad despair.
Tour watvior ehiefi, bytes's! ties,
Will lead you to the dread embattled plain ;
There, by your means, unfading wreatinacquire,
And bid your worth to farthest time remain.

Thee, trio„ illustrious Mate, shall thy Cur"
And its brave Captains, to the world proclaim.
Shall join...mid with a fire unknown before,

44re11 the proud foe, and hand thee op to Fame."

And le.im insulting Frenchmen to despises
Rigi, Britons, rim ! 0 ye, his chosen bind,

That 'tit your pride to conquer or to the ;
Then in the field your resolution then,
And scorn the c-nward's part-0 scorn to fly !
