SONGSTER. 5»
A «oul like his no danger fears,
His pendant from the mast he tears.
And his gallant bosom bears.
To grace the bold Niagara.
See ! see ! he quits the Lawrence's side;
And trusts him to the foaming tide.
Where thundering navies round him ride.
And flash their red artillery.
His oar each sturdy seamen plies,
He gains the deck ! his pendant flies.
Triumphant shouts ascend the skies.
And rend the vaulted canopy.
" The combat deepens—on, ye brave,
Who rush to glory or the grave,''
Columbia's rights upon the wave.
Protect from proud Britannia.
Huzza ! the tide of battle turns !
Now every hero's bosom burns ! —
'Tis done:—again Britannia learns
To strike to great Columbia.
Barclay, thy deeds of glory done,
Thy laurels at Trafalgar won.
Shall now adorn our gallant son,
And signalize his victory.
His country shall with glory crown,
His deeds of empire and renown.
And histoiy shall hand them down
To endless posterity.
