From the Lyon's Mouth.
SONG.  tune. The Bird.
Why shou'd we of our lot complain, 
Why add to our distress;
Or think that if we riches gain, 
We gain true happiness.
Alas how vain
Is all our gain.
Then let us constant be, 
For while we're here
My friends so dear, 
We'll fight for Liberty.
. . . [4 more verses]
