Noble Monarch Of thy illustrious tribe
} Spread thy expansive wings Of glory, Ef
And on the azure surfaced sky inscribe
Thy nations immortal hystory
From ev'ry peak Of thy mountain home,
Where the effulgent rays Of SOD hath shone,
]. With strains of heav' v'nly minstr'lsey


The air hath rung,


For Seraphs sung,


Their voices rais'd


In songs that prais'd
The mem'ry Of American Liberty

In thy state and pomp soar above


With imperial purple


Thy brow Well encircle
For Freedoms patriots 'voutly love

When dark and sombre clouds are rolling
Onward from the distant West,
Dark'ning with their sable scowling,
Our happy land Columbia blest ~

And the hghtning's vivid fiashiugs,


Wak'ning the echoes of the hills,

Within thy bosom Liberty thrills,
Then from thy imperial rocks,
Where the tempest loudly RACES,


Your disdainful mock


And indignant scott, 81
Is heard above the boiling surges
Which thy tow'ring throne o'erlooks
6 Bird OF the lightning thunder-clifn
Columba's millions pay thee homage NJ
Meath thy form--their chief chivalric--
They fought for liberty from bondage !
Expressions made them daring bold
Freemen's blood the deed enscrold--
\ But they erasd their wrongs


Deep in the food


OF tyrant's blood,


Whose stripes they felt,


And vengeance dealt
Her heavy blows amid the throngs
OF hirelings base--that o'er Atlantic mighty
Wave-from Britannia poured -
But the patriot few,


Determined-slew


The advancing colhm's Of the craven horde
And made their blood the channel LIBERTY
