their hands, as General WASHINGTON*
pafled under the Triumphal Arch raised on

mighty Chief ! ©nee more,
Welcome to this grateful fliore:
Now no mercenary foe
Aims again the fatal blow,
Aims at Tb:e the fatal blow.
Virgins fair and matron* grave,
Those thy conquering arml did save,
Build for Thee triumphal bowers.
Strew', ye fair, His way with flowers, '
Strew your Hero’s way with flowers.

[As they song these lines, they strewed
the flowers before the General, who halted
until the Sonata was finifhed.]
The General being presented with a copy,
was pleased to address the following Card to
the Ladies:
To the Ladies ts Trenton, who were aj/lmlled
On the t\Jl day of rfpril, 1789, at the Tri
umphal Arch , ere Sled by them on the bridge
which extends acro/s the Ajj'ampinck Creek.
“ General VVafliington cannot leave this
place without exprefling his acknowledgments
to the Matrons and young Ladies who receiv
ed him in so novel and grateful a manner, at
the Triumphal Arch, in Trenton, for exqui
lite sensations in that affettiug moment the
afton'ifoing contrast between his former and
aftual situation at the - fame spot—the elegant
taste with which it tfas adorned for the present
occasion—and the innocent appearance of the
white-robed choir who met him with the
gratulatory Song, have made such an impres
sion on his remembrance, as, he aflures them,
will never be effaced.”
