'By the that you Inherit

Doubt the patriot whose suggestions \
Whisper that its props may slide

With the discord- notes Of shame
We whose sires their blood have mingled
In the battles thunder fame
Gathering while this holy morning
Lights the land from TO sea-
Hear thy counsel, heed thy warning
Trust u.s. while we honor thee u
