1t is copyrighted, but we shall borrow the first
verse:
"a Song Cor the Man, the bold, troe Man,
Who has rul d in our councils long
The sun OF his renOwn, ii shall never 90 down,
" Lille n freeman chant song.
With q gallant firm heart, he has acted his part,
In the cause Of our Country dear,
When storms to Sshelm he has sei2 d the helm,
When tie b0ldesi shrunk back in fear
Then sing for the Man the bold, true Man,
Whom our hearts and our heads hold dear.
And sill flourish he, like stout OAK tree,
This many and many year"
