THE GLORIOUS SEVENTY FOUR. A New Song. Tune of Hearts of
Oak.
Come, come, my brave boys, from my song you shall hear,
That we'll crown seventy-four, a most glorious year;
We'll convince Bute and Mansfield, and North, though they
rave,
Britons still like themselves, spurn the chains of a slave.
Chorus:
Hearts of oak were our sires,
Hearts of oak are their sons,
Like them we are ready, as firm and as steady,
To fight for our freedom with swords and with guns.
