Song sung at Vauxhall by Mr. Vernon, and set to musick by
Mr. Heron.
Come, ye lads who wish to shine,
Bright in future story,
Haste to arms, and form the line
That leads to martial  glory.
[Chorus and 16 lines follow, including one beginning "Hearts
of oak"]
Chorus.
Beat the drum, the trumpet sound,
Manly and united,
Danger face, maintain your ground,
And see your country righted.
