Our pilot in the strife is he,
Whose bark has peTil'd many sea,
And rode out, many a furious gale,
Through shoals, where others dare not sail
Then TO sold Tip" Wen give the helm
These PiTdteS he will soon o'erwhem.
While proudly from his mast will stream,

Thus safely moOr'd secure, will stand
The laws, the honor of our land,
While every heart will bless the hour,
When Harrissn assumed his power.
