That seat of science, Athens,
And earth's proud mistress, Rome,
Whore now are all their glories2
We scarce can find tomb.
Then guard your rights, Americans,
Nor stoop to lawlcss sway,
Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose,
For North America.
We led fair freedom hither,
And, 10, the desert smiled
A paradise Of pleasure
Was opened in the wild
Your harvest, bold Americans,
No power shall snatch awayi
Huzza, huzZa, huzza, huzza
For free Americal
Torn from world cf tyrants,
Beneath this western sky,
We formed new dominion,
A land of liberty.
The world shall own we're masto IS hers,
Then hasten on the day.
Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza,
For free Americal
Proud Albion bowed TO Caesar,
And numerous lords before,
To picts, to Danes, to Normans
And many masters more.
But we can boast, Americans,
We've never fallen prey,
Hu2za, huzza, huzza, huzza,
For free Americal
God bless this maiden climate,
And through its vast domain
May hosts of heroes cluster
Who scorn to wear a chain,
And blast the venal sycophant
That dares our rights betray.
Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza,
For free Americal
Lift up your hands, ye heroes,
And swear with proud disdain,
The wretch that would insnare you
Shall lay his snares in vain,
Should Europe empty all her force,
Wen meet her in array
And fight and shout and shout and fight
For North America.
Some future day shall crown us,
The nngArs OF the main,
our fleets shall speak in thunder
To England, France AMI Spain.
And the nations over the ocean spread
Shall tremble and obey
The sons, the sons, the sons, the sons,
OF brave America.

prepare themselves for the duties of moth

of the organs that make motherhood posi-
BILE, approaching maternity will have no
