The stripes bsoody scars,
A lle q Wanting hymn; tt
It shields pirate deck,

II yokes the captve's neck.
And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the fountine lie!
Half.mast ths-starr, flag
Insult no sunny sky rfsI
With hates polluted rag,
Destroy II ye who can! a3 e14t
Deep sink IL in the wav.s,

To groan with fellow slaves.

Till Freedom lives again,

Among untrammeled men
Roll up the starry sheen
Conceal its bloody stains,
For in its folds is seen
The stampof rstling chains rs
Nothing moro infamoiis was evsr SET to
