The traitorous blow will yet restrain:
Did we, like recreants, sue them kneeling,
Our abject suit would be in vain.
Oh! shall we see our Constitution
BY ruthless PARTICLES o'erthrown,
While patriot saints above us groan,
And cry, There's hope in Revolution"
Arise-arise, ye brave!
Our banner be unfurled!
Well swear, we'll swear our rights 10 save,
Proclaim it to the world.

High names of genius join tn array,
Each power of thought and utt'rance wieldirg
To strengthen Aboliiion's sway. -,

: Soon in its rage 10 burst amain,
And blight each lovely Southern plain
With desola,ion and with ruin!
Arise-arise, ye brave!
Our banners be unfurled !
Well swear, We'll swear our rights to save
Proclaim it to the world.
Then, Southrons, come-delay no longer,
Sound, sound the signal far and near;
Or shall VIZ ,arry to grow stronger,
Until our enemies appear!
No, no-thry rise from coast TO border,
A longer unbroken front they show,
That friend and foe alike may know
They come with union and good order.
A~rise-arise, We brave!
Our banners be unfurled |!
Well swear, well swear our rights 10 save,
Proclaim it TO the world!
