How fair &c.
Ye mothers hail the day,
Nor weep your children slain,
Your sons have dashed away
Their cups and broke their chain.
How fair &c.
Ye wives your anguish hide.
Behold your husbands loalhed.
RepenIani seek your side,
And 10 their RICH! mind clothed

We've seen thy birth day star.
Thy garments sweep the gale.
Thy breath purfumes the air!
How fair &c.

Yo woods in triumph speak,
Here's victory for the brave,
Protection for the weak.
For Temperance and her daughter Heall
In Plen,y's horn find JOY and wealth.
