 In selecting the matter for tiii.s publication 
 care has been taken to select none but such as 
 possess merit. In some, verbal alterations liave 
 been occasionally male in order to suit them' 
 more immediately lo I he times in wliidi we 
 live, and to remove any phrase or expression 
 which n.ight appear as having a tendencv to 
 give to the creature the jnaises due to "the 
 Creator, who alone giveth victory and crowrr.

 to meet the tastes of the diiTmrnt readers into

 it IS not to be expected that this work 
 should be free from errors ; but whatever may 
 be Its faults m other respects, it is free from 
 making an improper use of Scripture language,

 What place can rival thy renown,

84 THE DEFENOB OP ENNISKILLEN. 
 
 Let all in one vast chorus join, 
 To sing each brave defender 
 
 Of Enniskillen and the Boyne, 
 
 Who made their foes surrender, 
 
 III. 
 
 If to these scenes we turn our eyes, 
 
 We view with admiration, 
 A band of heroes bold arise 
 
 To save a ruin'd nation ; 
 W ith mighty arm and glittering steel, 
 
 They met the host approaching, 
 And made their fiercest foemen feel 
 
 The danger of encroaching. 
 
 IV, 
 
 The Protestants of Erin, then, 
 
 Were fiercely persecuted, 
 By monsters in the shape of men, 
 
 Who this fair Isle polluted ; 
 Their maidens violated were — 
 
 Their houses burn'd or plunder'd- 
 While shrieks of murder fill'd the air, 
 
 And Pity wept and wonder'd. 
 
 O 
 
 But Enniskillen's guardians brave, 
 
 On Heaven for aid depending, 
 Resolved their native land to save,' 
 
 By that strong pass defending ; 
 And soon their great— their glorious namo- 
 
 Their enemies afrighted, 
 For in the bloody field of fame 
 
 Their hopes they always blighted.

 VII. 
 
 On came the Irish flush'd with rage 
 
 The town to enter vauntinL'— ' 
 But forth in battle to engage, 
 
 With hearts for conflict panting, 
 A band rushed out, at whose dread sight, 
 
 the cowardly invaders,

 With their ferocious leaders.

 Then Lord Galmoy, with bigot zeal

 Meantime the host, in Dublin town, 
 
 Was raia'd in exultation — 
 The crownless King to it bow'd down, 
 
 In prostrate adoration • 
 And, now against the valiant North, 
 
 Across the Boyne's fair water, 
 He hords of savage troops sent forth, 
 
 The Protestants to slaughter. 
 
 XII. 
 
 But gallant Enniskillen town, 
 
 And Deny fam'd in story, 
 Soon put his proud pretensions down, 
 
 And marr'd his hope of glory ; 
 Like rocks resisting Ocean's tide, 
 
 In stormy winds high swelling, 
 His power and pride they still defied— 
 
 His utmost force repelling.

 At Oraagh and Bellurbet's gate,

 And through a wood, stain'd with their blood,

 For safety took the water,

 Compelled the Irish troops to flee, 
 
 And fought with valor peerless.

 Were seen in conflict closing ; 
 lu vengeful ire, through smoke and fire 
 
 Rush'd on, these foes opposing. 
 
 For full three hours the battle raged, 
 
 Nor either side did waver ; 
 Aud ne'er before in strife engaged. 
 Encountered soldiers braver. ' 
 But \vhile the fray seemed doubtful still, 
 
 ^ And man with man contended, 
 A snot at Zilcommoden Hill 
 St. Ruth's existence ended. 
 
 The Irish, of their chief bereft, 
 
 And almost all surrounded, 
 The gory field in terror left, 
 
 And hurried off confounded.

 July the first, in Oldbridg town, 
 
 There was a grievous battle, 
 Where many a inun lay on the ground 
 ^ By the cannons that did rattle : 
 King James he pitched his tents between 
 
 The lines, for to retire ; 
 But King William threw his bomb-shells in 
 
 And set then) all on fire. 
 
 Thereat enraged, thoy vowed revenge 
 
 Upon King William's forces; 
 And oft did cry vehemently. 
 
 That they would stop their courses. 
 A bullet from the Irish came, 
 
 Which gra:ied King William's arm ; 
 They thought lii,-, Majesty was slain, 
 
 Ytt it did him little harm.

 Retain'd their rapid motion • " 
 But William said, " He don't deserve

 That would not venture life and' limb, 
 ' make a foe aurronder.' 
 
 When we the Boyiic began to .^luss-,

 But few of our brave men were lost 
 
 So stoutly wo defonded •

 Had taken up their quarters, 
 And fenced themselves on every side,

 And long before the morning light. 
 
 To Dublin did retire. 
 
 The Protestants of Drogheda, 
 
 Have reason to be thankful 
 That they were not to bondage brought, 
 
 They being but a handful : 
 First to the Thosel they were brought, 
 
 And tried at Millmount after ; 
 But brave King William set them iVeo, 
 
 By venturing over the water. 
 
 Come, let us all with hears ant! voice.

 THE LANDING OF KINO WIIXIAM. 
 
 The crafty foe's at work again, 
 Our sacred altars to profane, 
 Upon our land to bring a stain. 
 And drench it with our gore. 
 
 Our lawful rights the tyrant James 
 Assail'd by force and subtUe schemes, 
 While bigots fierce to kindle flames, 
 
 In Smithfielt! stood prepared. 
 To drive religion from the land, 
 They rais'd again a threat'ning hand, 
 When William, with his gallant band, 
 
 Their trembling master scar'd. 
 
 Affrighted, James, in wild despair, 
 
 A victim to corroding care, 
 
 Fled off, by night, to France, and there 
 
 Obtained the wished for aid. 
 With Gaul's proud troops, for Erin's Isle 
 He sail d, resolv'd, by force or guile, 
 Jo make us on his project smile, 
 
 And Briton's crown degrade. 
 
 But Londonderry, with a frown. 
 Despised the King without a crown, 
 And put him and his army down, 
 
 Upon the Foyle's fair side. 
 A shot sent from her lofty wall 
 Soon made him all his men recall, 
 And back ^n old St. Johnston fall, 
 
 With deeply wounded pride. 
 
 Fair EnniskNlen stoutly stood, 
 Like Noah's Arc against the flood. 
 Until her heroes, drenched with blood 
 
 No living foe could find. ' 
 
 Strong Carricksfergus yielded then. 
 In mountain, moore and shady glen. 
 No force withstood Duke Schombergs men 
 
 With Derry boys oombin'd.

 King William landed with his train, 
 When all resistance proving vain, 
 
 The tyrant's forces fled. 
 Crowds in flight we tlien might see, 
 From Lagan's banks to proud Ardee, 
 While Britons, undismayed and free, 
 
 Held high their standard red. 
 
 Come now, my boys, in chorus join, 
 And sing the glories of the Boyne, 
 Where wooden shoes and brazen coin 
 
 Felt freedom's fatal blow. 
 While James aloof in ten'or stood. 
 King William cross'd the foaming flood, 
 And then, while flowed his royal blood, 
 
 Pursurr^ ■' ^ 1 lying foe. 
 
 Great Gi' ' -roops reduced Athlone, 
 On Aughrim's hills his valor shone. 
 Where Rome's last hopes were overthrown. 
 
 And fell, to rise no more. 
 Then let not Pope or pagan say 
 That we shall e'er forget the day, 
 When William came to drive away 
 
 The tyrant from our shore.

 And by it be conducted ; 
 
 For, if Jehovah's voice ye hear,

 Your enenaiea you need not fear, 
 For you wiil be protected.

 How His Almififhty arm 
 Preserved the Israslites of old, 
 
 And kept them free from harm ; 
 He sent them Moses for their guide, ' 
 
 And fully him instructed 
 How Israel through the raging tide 
 
 By him should be conducted. 
 
 Next, Joshua was forward sent, 
 
 Fair Canaan to discover, 
 Across the Jordan first he went, 
 
 And brought all Israel oyer ; 
 The heathen fast before them fiew, 
 
 Convuls'd with I'ear and wonder, 
 For he, who sav'd his chosen few. 
 
 Oft spoke in tones of thunder. 
 
 While Israel to the law gave heed. 
 
 And on it meditated, 
 Peace, wealth and honor was tlieir meed, 
 
 And Kings their hearts elated ; 
 But turning to idolatry. 
 
 They met with desolation; 
 A high decree caus'd them to be 
 
 Despis'd through every nation.

 But still the Lord, in darkest age, 
 
 Had many true believers 
 Who lov'd to read his holy page, 
 
 In spite of all deceivers; 
 When guilty Rome would to the tomb 
 
 Consign his revelation, 
 A chosen few were still found true 
 
 In every Christian nation. 
 
 Now since from superstition's sway 
 
 Ttie present generation 
 As yet is saved, let us to-day 
 
 Make steady preparation — 
 At Heaven's command to keep our land 
 
 From heathenish pollution, 
 From foreign yoke, and fatal stroke

 As easy as the waves divide, 
 Frustrate their plans, confound their pride,

 For oft, when human aid seems vain,

 William and Mary soon were crowned, 
 And stopped the persecution. 
 
 And when again with opening spring, 
 Back they came and brought their King, 
 We made our bells for William ring, 
 
 With Spartan resolution ; 
 Though they fought us three to one, 
 Still they sunk as we pressed on. 
 Soon their coward King was gone, 
 
 Afraid of execution. 
 
 So as Hke again come round. 
 Here we stand on classic ground, 
 Ever true to England found, 
 
 And our glorious Constitutiou ; 
 Proud our crimson flag shall fly.

 Here we conquer or we die, 
 
 In the cause of the Revolution.

 From Egypt's plains we marched, 
 
 Bouiul to the proniised land ; 
 
 Full forty years we traveird— 
 
 !Moses had the command. 
 
 With I'od of God he cleared the way, 
 
 The soas did back rebound, 
 
 And stood in heaps till we passed o'er 
 
 But Pharoah's host was drown'd. ' 
 
 Now we're all safe passed over, 
 
 Pray let us rest awhile 
 
 And give thanks unto our God, 
 
 Who saved us from exile ; 
 
 And also from a watery grave, 
 
 Where our enemies d'v;li lie ; 
 
 Well all kneel down and praise our God 
 
 Then inarch to Mount Sinai. 
 
 'Twas marching through the wilderness 
 Some of them niourned for bread . ' 
 
 And more for water cried aloud,— 
 There was uone to be had : 
 So, the Lord to quench their thii'sly souls 
 From a rock made waters liow : ' 
 
 And every morning they were fed 
 AVith manna white as snow. 
 
 'Twas then, while at Mount Iloreb, 
 
 The rock did Moses smite 
 
 And trav'ling for Mount Sinai, 
 
 Slew tho proud Amoritc 
 
 .So when we came to Sinai's Mount, 
 
 We forty days abode ; 
 
 Then to find out the royal mark 
 
 March'd to the plains of Moab.

 To view the promised land ; 
 Who, like the dove, returned, 
 With fruit all in their hnnd

 To see the fruit of Canaan produced, 
 Their hearts with joy did glow ; 
 Then to find out the royal mark 
 We march'd for Mount Nebo. 
 
 Here Moses to the Mount was calFd 
 His last farewell to take ; 
 Remember now the oovenaut 
 You to the Lord did make : — 
 'Twas to pull doAvn all idol gods, 
 Those carved, both great and small ; 
 And all such vain idolatry, 
 And worshippers of Baal. 
 
 Then Joshua called Lis brethren, 
 And unto them did say : 
 The streams of Jordan I'll divide. 
 Like Moses the Red Sea ; 
 The secret I will first unibid, 
 Let none but Marksmen know ; 
 So the Pass went round, and the 
 That will lead to Jericho.

 mark was found 
 
 Now to conclude my Marksman's song, 
 
 Let us thankful be and pray ; 
 
 And keep in memory Jordan's plains. 
 
 As likewise the Red Sea ; 
 
 Take Great Jehovah for your guide, 
 
 Your enemies he'll subdue ; 
 
 And remember what a mighty host 
 
 Three Imndred overthrew.

 :HE black MAN'S DREAM. 
 
 One night I thought a vision brought 
 
 Me to a spacit us plain ; 
 Where on it« centre stood a mount, 
 
 Whose top I wished to gain : 
 Orange, blue, and purple too, 
 
 Were g, ven me to wear; 
 And for to s.e the mystery, 
 
 They did mc thus prepare :— 
 
 My guide, a pack placed on my back, 
 
 With pillars of an arch ; 
 A staff and scrip placed in my hand, 
 
 And thus 1 on did march : 
 Thror jh desert lands I travelled o'er, 
 
 The narrovi^ path I trod, 
 Till somethiDg did obstruct my path 
 
 In the form of a toad. 
 
 So then I saw what did me awe, 
 
 Though wandering in a dream— 
 A flaming bush, though unconsumed. 
 
 Before mo did remain ; 
 And as I stood out of the wood, 
 
 I heard a heavenly sound, 
 Which bade me cast my shoes av/ay, 
 
 For it was holy ground. 
 
 im 
 
 ' Two men I saw with weapons keen. 
 
 Which did me sore annoy ; 
 Unto a pyramid I ran, 
 
 That standing was hard by : 
 And as I climbed the rugged way, 
 
 A hand I there did see, 
 Which laid the lofty mountains 
 
 In the scale of equity. 
 
Blue, gold, and black about my neck, 
 
 This apparition placed ; 
 Into a chariot I was put, 
 
 Wbea we drove off in haste ; 
 Twelve dazzling lights of beauty bright 
 
 Were brought to guide my way, 
 And as we drove through cypress shades 
 
 One of them did decay. 
 
 Near to a mount I saw a fount 
 
 Of living waters flow ; 
 I being dry, they did reply, 
 
 To drink you there may go : 
 The mystic cup I then took up, 
 
 And drank a health to all 
 That were born free and kept their knee 
 
 From bowing unto Baal.

 While over life's busy stage going, 
 
 Where troubles we meet not a few, 
 My heart with kind feelings o'erflowing^ 
 
 Still clings to the Orange and Blue—

 In high or in lowly degree, 
 An Orangeman's company's pleasant, 
 And ever was cheering to me.

 This was the btirthen of that song, &o.

 Was bad as had could be ; 
 When rebels rose, and England's foes 
 
 Cried loud Ibr liberty ;

 Undaunted stood and shed his blood, 
 
 Triumphant through the year.

 And others ran away ; 
 While yeomen brave, the land to save, 
 
 Fought on and gained the day. 
 
 This was the burthen of their song, &«. 
 
 And as the gallant yeoman then 
 
 Stood forward for the throne, 
 With loyal men he'il stand again,

 Of principle pure, and of heart undivided ; 
 While Erin's brave Orangemen, wisely tiuitcd — 
 The hope of the bigoted rebel soon blighted. 
 
 But alas! ihe scene's changed, and the loyal arc mourning, 
 As the days of rebellion are (juickly returning ; 
 The powers that they bled for, distrust and annoy them, 
 While those they subdued rise again to destroy them. 
 
 Convicted in vain is tlie plunderer hardened, 
 He rages, he threatens, and still he is pardoned ; 
 And those who had ventured to seize or detect him, 
 With his band of assassins may quickly expect him. 
 
 But whate'er be our fate, should we prosper or i>erisli, 
 The cause of our Bible and truth we will cherish ; 
 No traitors our hearts from allegiance can sever — 
 The throne of a Brunswick we'll honor for ever.

 Csed by a skilful master, 
 
 To concentrate the sap of life, 
 
 And fix the strong root faster.

 From galling chains that bound her 
 Our fathers built, beneath his smile

 A spirit shrine within the clay,

 Though many looked with eager longing ; 
 And even bitter tears were shed,

 That gladly would have yielded all 
 
 To serve their Prince, aye, spilt their blood, 
 Save but to yield to Popish thrall.

 Because we stood in firm array.

 Now listen, my hearers. a%vbile, if you nlea.e 
 And a comical story I'll te ls8on ' 
 
 aSV'"^^ ^^"ow w'^ll lafoZon' the seas 
 And his name it was Admiral Nelson ' 
 Im sure you ve all heard of his tame 
 How he fought like a tiger wherever' he came 
 
 Have plenty of cause .to re^l2lrtZlT 
 Ofmy tight httle Admiral N«!sQn. 
 
132 THE CHURCH OF li.VClLAND 
 
 His arm having lost at the faiu'd Teneiiffo, 
 
 Never mind, says be, I shall get well soon ;_ ^ 
 
 I shall catch them one day, as you st.'e lads ; and it' 
 They escape me, bhune Admiral Nelson. 
 
 To doubt what I promise were niighty absurd, 
 
 For I left them my hand as a pledge of my wonl. 
 
 Spoken. — And so he did : arm and all, as good 
 Security ; lor you know the old proverb says 
 That a bird in hand is worth two in the bush : 
 
 So success to brave Admiral Nelson. 
 
 At length (to conclude) it would make the dead smile. 
 Just to hear what Horatio befcl soon ; 
 
 The French took a trip to tly* banks of the Nile, 
 To make work for brave Admiral Nelson ; 
 
 And there he fell in with them close to the land, 
 
 And ho stuck to their skirts, as you may understand 
 
 Spoken. — And in truth his Satanic Majesty 
 himself would have laughed 
 To see how he lathered the French with one hand, — 
 0, the world for brave Admiral Nelson. 
 
 THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND NOT A NEW 
 CHURCH. 
 
 The Popish Priest is at the door, 
 
 His lamb-like voice we hear ; 
 But we h«lf detect the lion's roar. 
 
 Though we will not stof^p to fear. 
 
 There's a spirit in old England 
 
 That cannot crouch to Rome ; 
 Our fathers liv'd the brave and free, 
 
 In their own, their island home.

 AN OtD SONG. 
 
 The truths which ancient Britons knew 
 unto our hearts are known • 
 
 And we iriay not bend at the Popish Mass 
 Nor kneel to gods of stone. 
 
 Our Church is not a now-sprung Church- 
 it flourished in the land ' 
 
 Before the slaves of Papal Rome 
 Polluted England s strand. 
 
 We're (if no sect; our hearts are knit 
 \\ ith Jesus Christ the Lord: 
 
 And we 11 not change our ancient faith 
 Apostate! at. thy word! ' 
 
 Our faith is truth-The truth of God •

 AN OLB SONG. 
 
 If 
 
 
 Nay, dry these tears, my boniiic lass, 
 
 To weep it were a shame. 
 The anchor's weighed, the ship's unmoored, 
 
 Our conqueriug flag's unfurled. 
 And England's glory stTll shall be 
 
 The wonder of the world - 
 
 " Where'er from coast to coast we sail, 
 
 Our praises fly before, 
 And British valor is renowned 
 
 From Ind' to Afric's shore. 
 We shun no toil, no danger dread, 
 
 No vain alarms we feel, 
 Nor prize our lives, but as ihey may 
 
 Promote our country's weal. 
 The anchor's weighed, &c. 
 
 " Our gracious Prince 1 with ono accord 
 
 We'll all join hand in hand. 
 To guard his throne, whose gentle dway 
 
 Protects this hsppy land ; 
 With filial love and duty joined, 
 
 His person we'll defend, 
 
 For every Briton finds in him 
 
 A father and a friend. 
 
 The anchor's weighed, &c. 
 
 We've rescued Spain, invaded France, 
 
 At Leipsic raised a flame. 
 Where babes unborn, as years advance, 
 
 Shall bless the British name. 
 Then here's to Stewart, in court or camp. 
 
 Or wheresoe'er he roam ; 
 For those tiiat fight for us abroad. 
 
 Should be revered at homo. 
 The anchor's weighed, &;c. 
 
 From Holland, 'tis remembered yet. 
 Our great King William came ; 
 
 To Holland, now, to pay tiie debt, 
 We go with eonqutriog Graem* ; 
 
 . t- 
 
AN OLD SOVO. 
 
 Barossa's field his deeds report?!. 
 
 Sebastian owns his fame, 
 And Frenchmen, buried in Belgian fort:^, 
 
 Shall find him still the same. 
 The anchor's weighed, &c. 
 
 " Then fear not, Peggy, from the mast 
 
 The signals wave in air, 
 The boatswain pipes, 'All hands on deck,' 
 
 And Colin in not there ; 
 My bonny lass, I love thee well, 
 But love my honor more ; " 
 In haste he kissed her blushing cheek, 
 The boat forsook the shore. 
 The anchor's weighed, &c. 
 
 And Peggy wiped the pearly drops 
 
 From eyes as black as sices ; 
 " May Heaven protect my Colin's life ! " 
 
 She '^ried, " where'er ho goes ; 
 For Heaven can turn the balls aside, 
 
 When danger hovers near. 
 And, trusting in itti guardian care. 
 I'll banish every fear. 
 
 Yet gladly shall I see again. 
 
 Our conquering flag unfurled, 
 And hail our heroes bold returned, j 
 The wonder of the world."

 THE BATTLE OP THE BALTIC. 
 
 Of Nelson and the north 
 
 Sing the glorious days renown, 
 When to battle fierce came forth 
 
 All the might of Denmark's crown, 
 And her arms along the deep proudly shone : 
 By each gun the lighted brand, 
 In a bold determined hand, 
 And the prince of all the land 
 
 Led them on. 
 
 Like leviathans afloat, 
 
 Lay their bulwarks on tlie brine, 
 While the sign of battle flew 
 O'er the lofty British line. 
 It was ten of April morn by the chime : 
 As they drifted on their path, 
 There was silence deep as dealL, 
 And the boldest held their breath, 
 For a time. 
 
 But the might of England tlush'd 
 
 To anticipate the scene ; 
 And her van the fleeter rush'd 
 
 O'er the deadly space between. 
 " Heartg of Oak 1 " '•ur captain cried,— when each gun; 
 From its admantine lips, 
 Spread a death-shade round the ships, 
 Lik« the hurricane eclipse 
 
 Of the sun. 
 
 Again ! again ! again ! 
 
 And the havoc did not slack, 
 Till a feeble cheer the Dane 
 
 To our ch«enng sent us back : 
 Their shots along the deep slowly boom :— 
 Then ceased— and all is' wail, 
 As they strike the shattered sail, 
 Or in conflagration pale, 
 
 Light the gloora.

 -i^'or the tidings of thy niie;ht,; 
 By the festal cities' blaze, 
 
 While the wine cup sliines in light. 
 And yet, amidst that joy and uproar, 
 
 Let us think of them that sleep, 
 Full many a fathom deep, 
 By the wild and stormy steep, 
 Elsinore ! 
 
 Brave hearts! to Britain's pride, 
 Once so faithful and so true. 
 On the deck of fame that died 
 With the gallant good Riou— 
 Sott sigh the winds of heaven o'er their grave! 
 While the billow mournful rolls, 
 And the mermaid's song condoles, 
 Singing glory to the souls 
 
 Of the brave.

146 ON THE DKATH OP TUB AUTHOR'S FAVORITE HORSE. 
 
 Where danger is, that man should stand 
 To preach or pray, serve or command, 
 Who once has taken it in hand 
 
 To be a people's pastor. 
 The Priests of Rome, on Aughrim's plain. 
 Could danger for King James disdain, 
 George Walker's blood the Boyne did stain 
 
 For William his brave master. 
 
 Owen M'Egan fought and died, 
 Supporting Rome's imperial pride, 
 A zealous Biahop's red blood dye'd 
 
 The frowning gates of Derry. 
 For Charles, on Letterkenny plain. 
 His priests, while blood was shed like rain, 
 For faith they deem'd divine, were slain 
 
 'Twixt that and Lifford ferry. 
 
 And later, upon Arklow's field 
 
 Priest Murphy in strong courage steel'd, 
 
 For what he deemed his right, did yield 
 
 His life to foeraen cruel ; 
 Others, like him, though not so stout, 
 Inciting now the rabble rout, 
 May all as Captain bold rush out 
 
 To warfare or to duel. 
 
 If, then, at duty's sacred call, 
 
 Oa Aughrim's plain or Derry wall, 
 
 Thy master should in battle fall, 
 
 Agi-inst wild revolution ; 
 Like sentinel from post relieved. 
 He'd go to death but little griev'd. 
 If he that day should see retrieved 
 
 Our glorious Constitution 
 
 Then slumber in thy bed of sand,

 The night is gathering gloomily, the day is closing fast, 
 The tempest flaps her raven wings in loud and an|ry blkst • 
 Ihe thunder-clouds are driving athwart the lurid sky 
 But, Put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your 
 
 [powder dry." 
 
 There was a day 3 when loyalty was hailed with honor due

 Whea treason bared her bloody arm, and luaddened round 
 p i^. T , , [the Jauci, 
 
 ^or King and laws, and order fair, we drew the ready brand- 
 Our gathering spell was AVilliam's name, our cry was " Do' 
 . , ,.,, [or die." 
 
 And still we put our trust in God, and kept our powder dry. 
 
 But now, alas ! awondrous change has jorne the nation o'er 
 And worth and gallant services remembered are no more • 
 And crushed beneath oppression's weight, in chains of 
 
 grief we lie ; 
 Put your tnist in Go.], my boys, and keep your powder 
 
 [dry. 
 Forth starts tlie spawn of treason, the 'scaped of ninety- 
 
 To bask in courtly favor, and seize the helm of state •

 Since this sad change came o'er the nation ; 
 Sore griev'd to see his words prove true, 
 
 And England brought to degradation. 
 He lived to see his perjured foes 
 
 From time to time in piecemeal sever 
 Britannia's blood-bought glories : then 
 Was valued Eldon's "now or never.'' 
 His duty done, he pass'd from earth, 
 
 Unawed by courtly state or splendor, 
 To where the seraphs swell their lays, 
 
 And praise their God with hymns of wonder

 Has passed o'er us, tho' wide awaken.

 TI91T or HIS HlfiHNBSS TO KNSSTOxV. 
 
 The day His Highness did arrive in Kingston's harbor fair. 
 Ten thousand loyal hearts rejoiced to meet their Prince so 
 
 [dear, 
 But soon the news came from on board that he was not to 
 
 [land, 
 Except those colors would come down at the old Duke's 
 
 ^ [command. 
 
 The No buRRENBER cry was raised throughout the ranks 
 
 [that day ; 
 The Orange colors shall prevail in Upper Canada. 
 
 They again returned on boai 3, the Duke displeased to hear, 
 Ten thousand voices echoed loud, there's no surrender here ; 
 The Duke enraged then raised his steam, and quickly fled, 
 
 [away, 
 And cursed the day he ever came to Upper Canada. 
 The Orange flags waved higher still, the drums beat loud 
 
 [and clear, 
 And every sound told far and vide, there's no surrender 
 
 Go home, old Duke, and Edmund Head, and tell across the 
 
 The Orange banners in the West ar« floating in the breeze, 
 And should the like event take place again, we'll make the 
 
 , , [same display. 
 
 You re welcome still, young Prince of Wales to Upper 
 
 [Canada. 
 
 Should England's throne desert our cause, we still the same 
 „. „, , [shall be; 
 
 We 11 stand o\ir ground like hearts of oak, and fight for 
 
 [liberty. 
 We ever will defend our cause, and ,(;r King William cheer,
