From a late Philadelphia paper,
ON PEACE.
From heaven descends sweet smiling peace,
And bids the storm of war to cease!
Disbanding armies quit the plain,
The thund'ring navies leave the main.
The drum no more, nor martial fife,
Shall call the brave to fatal strife!

Let Washington's immortal name,
Loudly swell the trump of fame
