General Mercer, in Memory of
the Capture of the Hessians
atTrenton.
On Christmas day, in 76.
Our raggei troops with bayonets fix'd
For Trenton marched away
The Delaware see. the boats below:
The light obscur'd by hail ans snow:
But no sign OF dismay.
Our object was the Hessian band
That dar'd to invade fair freedoms land
And quarter in that place.
Great Washington led us ON
With ensigns streaming with renown.
Which ne er had known Disgrace.
In silent march we pase'd the night.
Each soldier painting for the fight,
Unmindful OF the bitter frost.
Greene on the left at six began,
The right was with brave Sullivan.
Who ia battle no time lost.
Their pickets storm'd, the alarm was
spread
That rebels, ris'n from the dead.
We're marching into town
Some scampered here, some scampered
there
And some for action did prepare,
But soon their arms laid down.
Twelve hundred servile miscreants.
With all their eolors. guns and tents.
We're trophies Of the day.
The frolic DER, the bright canteen
In center, front aud rear was seen.
Driving fatigue away.
Now, brothers OF the band.
Let's sing our safe deliv'r rance from a
king
Who strove to rule the sway,
And, as life you know is hut span,
Let's touch the tankard while we can
In memory Of the day
