ACROSTIC.
Genius of praise; assist my lays,
[while I recount his virtues o'er;
Echo resound to worlds around,
[and waft his name from shore to shore.
Ordain'd by fate to save the state,
[when foes invade to arms he flies,
Resolv'd to fight, maintain our right,
[or fall a noble sacrifice.
Glow every heart, your joy impart,
[exalt the worth of freedom's friend;
Employ your tongues in grateful songs,
'till time itself shall have no end.
. . . [20 more lines, spelling out George Washington.]
