AMERICAN FREEDOM. A new Song.
Hark! 'tis freedom that calls, come Patriots awake;
To arms, my brave boys, and away;
'Tis honour, 'tis virtue, 'tis liberty calls,
And upbraids the too tedious delay.
What pleasure we find in pursuing our foes;
Thro' blood and thro' carnage we'll fly:
Then follow, we'll soon overtake them, huzza!
The tyrants are seized on, they die.
