Mr. Dougherty,
The following Song, com
posed in Celebration of Ihe
evacuation ol New-York,
by the British, on the 2,5 th
November, 1783, was ta.
ken from the American Ci.
listen, and appears in the
Aurora of the 9th uitimo,
Fleale give it a place in
,your paper, and you will
confer a favour on all
’76 Patriots,
Fame let thy trumpet sound,
Tell all the world around,
America is free;
Tell Germain, ‘North and IJute,
And every other brute,
Tyrannic George wont suit
Our liberty.
Triumph forth in joyful “sound,
From camp to camp resound,
Washington’s tame;
His feats spread far and near,
That friends uiid foes may luar,
And Britain’s Clinton fear,
Washington’s name.
A glorious race is rnn,
The immortal Washington,
To make us free,
He vanquish’d ail our toes,
Cornwaliis and tfhe Howes,
And ali that dare oppose,
Our libetty
Let George send cut throats forth,
From east, from south and north,
We’ll lace them all,
Villains notorious,
Never shall conquer us,
Confound them all.
Cet Sawneys round him wait,
And jaekies guide in state,
To slavery;
Tell them o’er and o’er again,
America scorns their chain,
AH'their vile arts are vain,
She will be free.
The bloody George ir. vatu,
May forgo a stronger chain,
The deed is done;
A greater George than he,
Lias set America free,
be
v OArge Washington.
The thirteen linked chain,
In union will maintain,
’Till time’s no more;
Behold the tv rant frown,
bee under foot his crown,
We ’ll chain the monster down,
To rise no mure.
(Additional Verses, written ly a
Subset Her for the Patriot. J
Columbia still is free,
And ne’er shall slavery
Oppress her more,
Tier states United see,
In Peace and unity,
And glorious liberty
Pervades iter shore.
’Tbo’ there is a stir,
Os i reason and ol Burr,
All is nought!
Around this happy land,
J’atrtots firmly stand,
And form a valiant band,
Not to be bought
Our hardy mountain boys,
Detest the glittering toys,
Os Monarchy.
Great Washington is dead,
But not with luui liaib tied,
Or blood in van: been shed,
For God-like liberty.
’Moung Columbia’s honest sons
Are a thousand Washingtons,
To fight urdie.
And united to a man,
Treason’s deeds will scan,
To deleat its murd’rous plan
Against our liberty.
Ikvoc .\txon to Health.
Come,, thou lovely, blooming
maitt.
Thy genial influence impart;
Come, m rosy charms array’d,
To ease an anguish’d heart.
Sweet are the aromatic flowerr,
That summer strews around the
plain,
And sweet’s the gently falling
showers,
The soft descending rain.
Sweet the beauties of the grove,
The silent, shadowy retreat,
Where silvan swains their notes
of love,
On oaken retds repeat.
But what are groves Sc bloom
ing flowers,
Or song* that sorrow’s self be
guiles?
But what are soft descending
showers,
Without thy cheering smiles?
In vain for me creation blooms,
In vain for me from opening
flowers,
On Zephyr’s wing the sweet
perfumes
Come floating thro’my bowers.
The gentle streams meander,
In silence through the wood,
Alot g their hanks I wander.
And gaze upon the flood.
But all 1 once delighted,
Looks desolate and drear:
I grope like one benighted,
Till thou, O, Health, appear.
Not showers to larks so pleas
ing.
Nor sunshine to the bee/
Not sleep to toil so easing,
As thy dear smiles to me.
THE hvptial funeral.
An Historical Fragment, from a
German Chronicle.
On a ileep mountain, sur
rounded by extenlive woods,
is lituated an ancient calllc,
long the relidencc of the
counts of Dachau. Here lived
an aged and venerable mo
iher, the laR defeendant of
that illustrious family.
The counts of WafFerthan
fen were their near relations;
and ;he vicinity of their manli*
on facilitating a mutual inter’
cotirfe, paved the way for a
Bill more Britt alliance. The
young countess, their filter,
was promised in marriage to
the young count Dachau.—
Brought tip together from
their childhood, their infantine
friendfhip had long changed
into ardent love.
The molt magnificent pre
parations were made to cele
brate their nuptials, during the
fellival of Chriltmas.
Tqe preparations being com
plete, the count of Dachau,
m his nuptial dress, accompa
nied by his attendants de
feended into the valley at the
foot of the mountain, to
meet his future conlort ; but
the flow progress of his train
iil-ftiking the youthful ardour
of the count, he set spurs to
his spirited courier, and was
loon (o far advanced into the
woods, that it was impossible
for his attendants to hear his
voice.
On a sudden lie u v as attack
by a troop of robbers, and
after fome ulelefs efforts, is
disarmed and wounded. Deaf
to ail his prayers, they com
plete their crime; they Brip
him of his rich dress and coltly
jewels; an emerald ring, the
pledge he had received from
his mill refs, and which (he
gave him when she consented
to be his bride, not being esly
u> get from his finger, the bar’
barians cut off his hand; then
cove; ing his body with fome
earth, they fly with precipita
tion, taking with them the
hoileof the unfortunate count.
111 the mean time the inten
ded bride, accompanied by
her two brothers, and follow
ed by a fplendtd cavalcade,
arrirei at the cattle* where
a numerous company are al”
fern bled. Mutual congratula
tions pass on the auspicious oc
casion of their meeting* The
mother, melancholy un *
easy at not feeing her son, ex
perts him with impatience. She
Fen els the pages and fervantsto
feel; him; a little dog, belong
ing count, follows them,
feenting every buffi, as if anx
ious to find his mailer.
The supper being served up
in the great hall, the Cheva
liers & ladies take their places
at the table; but no cheerful*
nefs nor gaiety is there. A me
lancholy silence and heavy
looks bespeak the presentiment
which pervades every bosom.
The intended bride cannot
contain her fighs*—her bosom
heaves with unutterable an*
guifh, her necklace burßs—
the pearls roll upon the table.
At these ominous signs, the
terrified gueffs rife from their
feats—the coverings are all re’
moved—they wait in dreadful
l'u(pence the arrival of the
count. A boilterous wind
(hakes the firs that crown the
mountain, and roars through
all the courts of the caffle—
whirlwinds of fnowrufh from
the rocks into the vale- The
[form at length ceales; the
clouds disperse, and the pale
light of the moon appears—-
they hear; they hear the fright
ful fereams of the funeral birds!
The young bride conceals
her beautiful face. Adieu for
ever now to joy and peace!
The found of a horn is heard
—the draw bridge is lowered,
the servants and pages preci
pitately enter, as if pursued by
the phantoms of night. All
the company approach the la.
dy Dowager and her intended
daughter in-law, who silently
addrefling their vows to Hea.
ven, await in fearful conster
nation the dreadful news. At
this moment a mournful and
plaintive cry draws their at
tention to the door; they be
hold a little dog, who running
to the mother of his mafier,
drops at her feet something
bloody, which he licks with a
piteous moan. Alas! it was
the hand which the assassins
had cut off, and dropped in
their flight. The venerable
mother and the lovely bride,
perceive the emerald ring, and
fink life Id's on the floor.
At this figlu the Chevaliers
all take their arms, and fol
lowed by the servants of the
caltle, enter the wood, and
traverse it on every fide. The
faithful dog runs before them,
incessantly moaning. Hetra.
cesthe foot Reps of his mailer,
they wander thus about an
hour, when the dog suddenly
Bops at a heap of earth, which
he endeavours to (cratch up.
1 hey dig the earth which ap
pears recently laid; they difeo
ver the naked Sc mangled bo
dy of the count. The Che
valiers take off their mantles;
they wrap the body decently
in them—they place it on one
of their horses—then taking the
plume from their hats, and the
servants & pages tearing from
their clothes the tibbands and
other ornaments of the day,
they forrowfuliy refutne the
road to the cattle. Not a
voice is heard— not.a found to
interrupt the naelenchoiy pro*
cession.
The company that had seen
the nuptial train of the late
happy bride, now advance to
meet ths funeral cavalcade.
I ne priefls deicended to the
foot of the mountain to re
ceive with due lolsmnity tne
body oftheir lord, He is en
tcred in the vaults of the church
in which his ancelfors repole;
and with him is extinfcl the an
cient family of Dachatl.
So vanished all the honors
ofanceftry! So fled the bright
efl tcredial profpefcts! to the
chilcllefs mother and the wi*
dowed bride, all on earth is
now defoiate Sc dreary- Grief
long holds her melancholy
sway—but piety at length pre.
vails—and faith points to those
celefiial feenes, where fufler
ing goodness will at laR be hap
py. Wrapped in mourning,
and prolfrate at the foot of the
altar, they renounce the flat
tering vanities of the world for
ever.
