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:
Well convince Bute and Mansfield, and North, tho' 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.
. . . [6 more verses and repetitions of the chorus.]
