The AMERICAN MILITIA. ** art excites, nor martial music’s XAI charms, The foldicr’s foul to deeds of glory warms, Nor hostile arms emblaze the pompful plain, Nor guards their naked front the brazen train, Untutor’d thefc in war’s experienc’d school, By nature brave and unoblig’d by rule, Their fable arms est botne in fields of chafe, In hostile port their manly (boulders grace, Their martial hands the lleely tomax wield. Thus arm’d, thy sons, Columbia , take the field. No groan of slavery wounds the warrior’s ear, No guilt pollutes them, and no scourge they fear, Nor fcornful eye, nor mean imperious dare, Insult the spirit of these Cons of war, The Chief, the soldier each familiar greet, Share the fame cup, nor tafie diftinguifli*d meat, One village bore them, and one tutor bred, Aud to the field one glorious motive led.”' ANECDOTE.
