As, ere this, thou oft hast aided
Gallant sons and lovely daughters.
For thou bears precious burthen
On thy buoyant, sily'ry tide;
IT'S young and gallant bridegroom,
And his radiant cherished bride.
Speed them on their nuptisl journey,
Guide them to the shore they seek;
Let no fell mischance befall Them,
Happiness for them bespesk.
Nay their stream of life prove peaceful,
AS thy own unrufflsd breast;
And, At last, life's journey ended,
Nay they find gladstone rest.
Hail. oh hail, suspicious dawning.
OF 3 new and untried life.
Fair Potomac, send thy greeting
To the husband and the wife.
