2 May 1781:23 (479)
At the Feast of St. George, New York 1781.
Air.--Smile Britannia.
I.
All hail! Britannia hail!
Thy champion claims the song;
Let mountain, hill and dale
The swelling notes prolong.
On high his flaming standard waves,
The boast of freedom, dread of slaves.
Chorus.
Huzza! Huzza!
To England and St. George again
We join the loud triumphant strain,
Huzza! Huzza!
In Clio's page eternally
Recorded stands the name,
And fills the sounding trump of fame;
Huzza! Huzza!
. . . [3 more verses of 6 lines each, each with an 8 line
chorus]
