THE GLORIOUS SEVENTY-FOUR. A New Song. To the tune of
Hearts of Oak.
Come, come, my brave boys, from my song you shall hear,
That we'll crown seventy-four, a most glorious year;
We'll convince Bute and Mansfield, and North, tho' they rave
Britons still, like themselves, spurn the chains of a slave.
Chorus.
Hearts of oak were our sires,
Hearts of oak are their sons,
Like them we are ready, as firm and as steady,
To fight for our freedom with swords and with guns.
