SONGSl'ER. 77
I wish not to aflHict your mind, but rather for ti> ease
Such dreadful apprehensions, they soon your mind
will seize;
Y'our love, my dear, in wedlock bands, another one
is join'd;
She swooned into my arms, on the banks of Brandywine.
Phe lofty hills and craggy rocks re-echoed back her
strains,
TTic pleasant groves and rural shades, were witness
to her pains:
" How often has he promised me, in hymen's chains
to join,
Noy7 I'm a maid forsaken, on the banks of Brandywine."
Oh! no, my dear, that ne^er shall be, behold your
Henry now,
I'll clasp you to my bosom, love; I've not forgot my
vow;
It's now I know you're true, my dear, in hymen's
chains we'll join,
Ahd hail the happy morn, we met on the banks of
Brandywine.
Battle of North Point.
TUNE—" Anacreon in Ilettven.'*
Hark, hark, was the cry, when Baltimore town
Was besieg'd by the plundering Cockbum and Co.
Hear you not the great guns, hear ye not the trump

Haste, haste, was the cry, let us meet the proud foe,
Let us march, heart and hand, let us make a bold stand,
And teach those invaders to cautiously land—
For this ground our fathers declared should be freo,^
