ODE. On the arrival of their Excellencies General
Washington and Governor Clinton, in New York, on the 25th
November, 1783.
Tune --"He comes! He comes!
They come! they come! the Heroes come!
With sounding fife, with thund'ring drum,
Their ranks advance in bright array,
The Heroes of America.
[2nd verse]
He comes! 'tis mighty Washington!
Words fail to tell all he has done'
Our Hero, Guardian, Father, Friend!
His fame can never, never end.
