THE LAUNCH OF THE BRANDYWINE.
she has gone with lovely and beautiful motion,
Todwcll on the blue, hcavng bosom Of Ocean,
The glad waters sparkl'd and wecom'd her


home,
And wreath'd round her prov white garland of


foam,
And the wave murmur'd sweetly, with grace and


with pride,
When she gave her fair form TO the breast of the


tide.
Proud ship thou shalt carry thy standard afar,
freedoms light to the Nations-her glorious
And wherever its foldings are kiss'd by the


gale,
Shall Liberty triumph and Tyranny quail,
And the eagle whose wings arc spread o'er il


shall be
a sign and type ofthy country and thee.
Thou vast nurs'd on earth, but thy home is the


sea
And free as its waters thy courses shall be,
Thy keel shall glide over the clear wave that


smiles
And sparkes in light round the Egean isles;
Thy canvass shall whten the North's stormy


seas,
And swell with the breath of tile sunny South 5


breeze.
When the terrible wars ofthe elements rave,
Thou shalt ride on the top of the lofiest wave,
And when Ocean is still rs the IIalcyons wing,
Thou shalt rest on its bosom--a beautiful thing
Like blue painted cloud seen in the blue depths


of air,
When no traces ofstorm or of tempest are there.
