From London's New-York Packet, Printed at Fishkill.
SONG ON THE CELEBRATION OF THE BIRTH OF THE DAUPHIN.
Tune, Restoration March.
Ye sons of Mars, attend,
Come join the festive throng,
In loftiest strains exult,
For Jove approves the song.
Let gladness ev'ry heart expand,
Let gratitude inspire
Each patriot breast, with joy unfeign'd,
To hail the royal sire.
CHORUS.
A Dauphin born, let cannons loud
Bid echo rend the sky;
Long life to Gallia's King,
Columbia's great ally.
. . . [2 more verses with refrain, "A Dauphin born, &c.]
