Shout. loyal hearts, from shore TO shore!
The Lord has tried, tho Lord has purgcd this

And Treason's stronghold is no more.
-Four years aeo-this dsy-in pride inferno!
And frantic rsgc, Q tra.torous band.
Against power legitimate and paternsl,

Whereof they now what harvest reap

Stands in the red svaths ankle deep.
-Four years ago, to-day, they called the thunder
To strike the Peoples sovereign crown;
The thunder struck--but whom see yonder,
Charleston may toll you who is down.
-Four years ago, they Dragged, soon should be
Haunting

The ragged braggsrts run from home.

Their god and temple overthrow.
