That Dickens wrote, that Chatham spoke and Billy
Shakespeare sung:
So join in Jubilee, cause of discord know
Things not they used to be- hundred years
ago.
Let Frcnchmen by the million Gomez our bosoms
tingle yet
AT mention of our old Ally-the Land of Lafayettel
Let Germans, in unnunber'd throngs and clouds of
smoke, appear,
Attack bonnyclabber, krant and force our lager
beer
Let Rome, and Egypt, Greece Japan, help keep the
"Jubilo"
Nor scorn brief career begun hundred years
ago
Let Russa's, India's tribes advene, to crowd our
Temple Gates;
Let South America uphold the honor Of her States;
Let every nation, kindred, tongue, be represented
here,
For Uncle Sam has room enough somewhere upon the
Sphere!
Wavei China! all thy pigtas wave and make
Celestial show.
But mark what bravo "Barbarians" wrought hundred
years ago!
Let all the soveresns, Powers, engage, mankind to
unity
And, mingled with Stripes and Stars their playful
standards fly;
Let and bloodshcd be no more ambition conquest
cease
4 Congress Of the Nations rise to make perpetual
peace;
Then shall the plough, and pruninghook ths reaper
and the hoe
Dspace the deadly tools in use hundred years ago
