Round the Altar of Freedom assemble ye brave.
With vigour your country to succour and save;
Determined to guard, as you value her laws,
And to conquer or die in her sacred cause!
No longer be reckless—her Freedom restore,
For Treason, advancing, is now at the door;
This, this is no season to slumber and sleep ;
Lest, over her grave, you awake but to weep!
'Tie your Altars, your Liberties, Properties, Lives—
'Tls your Country, your Homes, your Children, and Wives;
'Tis all that makes Country or Hanle a delight,
That you must surrender, or saving must fight !
Then are ye prepaed, o'er that Country to mourn,
And see all the horrors of Popery return ;
To see Superstition, Intolerance reign,
With all the sad evils that move in their train?
And will ye uphold what your Fathers withstood,
Betray what they purchaed and seal'd with their blood;
The interests of Gon, of your Country betray,
And give from your Sons their fair ►irthright away ?
And you too, brave Britons! will you this allow?
Whom a world up in arms could neer force to bow; .
Will ye now, appall'd, to a faction bow down,
That would crumble to dust were ye only to frown?
And thou, our WI Sovereign, wilt thou too disown
The laws that cantered on thy Fathers the Throne;
Desert thy true friends, and thus dimly embrace
The foes of thy Country, Religion, and Race?
. No! no!—'tis not so—Oh ! k sever can be,
' That Sovereign and People, so valiant and free,
Would their Country betray—their Goes sacred trust...
And lay all their glories for ever in dust !

p4teoor.. to state the whole of the " connivances" by
