as the sun continues to shine upon her. long will it
float there, the natives of the land well others

culture must improve and the arts and sciences flourish
as seed in rich and fertile soil.
The Americans and Caiornians now but one peo-
pe let us cherish wish, hope, and let that be
for the peace and quiet of country Let u.s. band
