A NEW SONG.
Written on the Celebration of the Birth of the Dauphin, at
West-Point.
Ye sons on Mars, attend,
Come join the festive throng,
In loftiest strains exult,
For Jove approves the song.
Let gladness ev'ry heart expand,
And gratitude inspire
Each patriot breast, with joy unfeign'd,
To hail the royal sire.
A Dauphin born, let cannon loud
Bid echo rend the sky;
long life to Galia's King,
Columbia's great ally.
. . . [2 Verses with refrain, "A Dauphin born, &c]
