A NEW SONG
Written on the Birth of the Dauphin, at West Point.
Ye sons of Mars attend,
Come join the festive throng,
In loftiest strains exult
For Jove approves the song.
. . .  [3 eight line stanzas and one 4 line chorus as
follows:]
  CHORUS
A Dauphin born, let cannon loud
Bid echo rend the sky
Long life to Gallia's King,
Columbia's great ally.
