Lie blending side by side;
The waters of Connecticut
Only seeming to divide.
And these bcspeak Of uniOn.-
And may a bond a. pure
Between rs, fraternaIly,
While these waters run, endure.

Made by Governor Wentworth,
And Of his greed for gold;
OF his lutte reservations,
In every grant he made
only " 1--we hundred acres"
And he would close the trade.

Laid a counter claim,
With spurious petitions.

And OF their strife with Ethan,
And OF the Beechen->eal,~

Were smaruy made to feel.
But for The Revolution.
