5 "I "MS done!—the edift pall, by Heaven
JL decreed,
And Hancock* s name confirms the glorious
' deed.
On this aufpicior.B morn
Propitious clay !
Hail! the United States ! of blcfl America !
CHORUS.
Ely fucnfi • <wing V Fame,
The n ntjs proclaim:
From fhon to Jhore ,
Let cannons roar ’,
And joyful •voices Jbout Columbia’* nn*ne-
Sec haughty Britain, fending hells of foes,
With vengeance arr.'d, our freedom to
op pole;
But V/aJhington the Great,
Difpcll’d impending fate,
And Ip tim'd each plain ;
Americans, combine to hail the god-likc
man !
Fly, fivifl-nving'd Fame, &c.
J>t Saratoga's crimson plains declare
The deeds of Gates, that “ thunder boh of
war j”
His trophies grac'd the ficlil ;
He made whole armies yield—
A vet’ran band ;
In vain did Burgoyne llrive his valour to
witlifland.
Fly, Jwift-wing'd Fame, lAc.

Now Tork-Tonvn's heights attract our wond
ering eyes, . .
Where loud artiileiy rends the lofty ikies j
There Wajbington commands,
With Gallia's chosen bands,
A war-like train ;
Like Homer’s conquering Gods, they thunder
o’er the plain.
Fly, fwift-wing'd Fame, tdc.
Pale terror marches on with foJcmn Aide;
Cornivallis trembles, Britain’s boalted pride ;
lie, and his armed hosts, .
Surrender all their pods
T 0 IVafhin^ton,
The friend of Liberty— Columbia’s favorite
son.
Fly, fivifi-wing'd Fame, &c.
t
Now from liEuit f r e men's, poaceful fliades,
again
The Hero comes, whh thousands in his train ;
’ 1 <s H'ajfrington the Great
Nluft fill the chair of hate,
Columbia cries;
Each tongue the glorious name re-echoes to
the ikies.
F*v, Jh.vifc-n.iing d Fame, [£c-
Now fliall the ufefu! arts of Peace prevail,
And commerce fiouritli, favor'd by each gale;
Difcorrl, forever c-afe !
Lee Liberty, and Peace,
Ami JnlKce reign ;
Tor lEafiir.gtcn protects the fcientific train.
