"No^marble, nor the gilded monumenis
Of princes, shall outlive the powerful rhyme."
~Shakwp»arb. SoNxvr LV.
" For the tired slave, tong lifts the languid oar.
And bids it aptly fall, with chime
That beautifies the fairest shore.
And mitigates the hardest clime."
In presenting to the public this new collection of old songs of the sea, we venture, by way of apology — if one
were needed — ^to refer to the article in Hammersly's Naval Encyclopedia, entitled Naval Songs.
" Lyrical poetry," the writer observes, ** is the most ancient and enduring method of instructing the young and
of keeping alive the history and traditions of a nation."
With every intelligent people there is a natural curiosity to know something of past events, and of those who
have rendered themselves illustrious. When, therefore, books were scarce and libraries unknown, metrical compo-
sition became a necessity. Those who could compose or recite high themes in pleasing numbers were held in great
esteem, not simply that their verses pleased the ear, but because they instructed the heart and mind, and stimu-
lated the memory to retain all that was good, and noble, and worthy of emulation in the past. These verses were
not only repeated at high festivals and great banquets, but also beneath the vine and the fig tree, and in the se-
clusion of home. The earliest lays that caught the infant ear told of the glories of other days. Thus was handed
down from father to son the history of a race.
Of all the works of man. Song is the most enduring. The great Assyrian Empire has crumbled into dust —
Nineveh and Babylon ; Tadmor and Baalbec, have suffered Time's remorseless doom, and yet the Song of Moses,
telling how the Lord delivered his people out of the hands of Pharaoh's hosts, is as fresh to-day as when Miriam,
and all the daughters of Israel, raised their dark Jewish eyes to heaven, and to the sounding timbrels sang
praises to their fathers' God.
The Sacred Songs of David have carried hope and comfort to the hearts of thousands upon thousands ; and
the '* Song of Songs," so old that its authorship is unknown, has told, and will for ages continue to tell, of the
ineffable pleasures of pure and faithful love.
The wrath of Achilles, the devotion of Patroclus, the noble actions of Hector, the love of Andromache, all
embalmed in immortal verse, have served to inspire countless generations of youths to deeds of daring.
From the days when the Argonauts rowed in unison to the charmed melodies of Orpheus, the sailors of
Ancient Greece ceased not to enliven with song the labors of the oar. They chanted hymns on going into battle,,
and sang loud paeans in honor of victory.
Macaulay tells us that Cato, the Censor, in speaking of the ballad poetry of Ancient Rome — unhappily lost —
said that many ages before his time there were ballads in praise of illustrious men, which it was the fashion for
the guests, at banquets, to sing in turn while the piper played (like Phemios in the Odyssey, or Cadwallader
in the halls of the Kings of Powys). "Where," Cicero mournfully asks, "are those old verses now?"
Valerius Maximus observes, that the Ancient Roman ballads were probably of more benefit to the young
than all the lectures of the Athenian schools, and that to the influence of the national poetry were to be
ascribed the virtues of such men as Camillus and Fabricius. This observation certainly lends weight to the oft-
quoted remark of Andrew Fletcher, of Saltoun, who said, ** I knew a very wise man who believed that, if a man
were permitted to make all the ballads ^ he need not care who should make the laws of a nation."
We have the authority of Tacitus for saying that songs were the only memorials of the past which the Ancient
Germans possessed. The brave actions of the Ancient Gauls were commemorated by their bards, qnd the Ancient
Skalds sang in Runic rhymes the deeds of the sons of the fjords.
" The exploits of Athelstane were sung by the Anglo-Saxons ; those of Canute, by the Danes. The chants
of the Welsh harpers preserved, through ages of darkness, a memory of Arthur, and the long struggle of the
Servians against the Ottoman power was recorded in lays full of martial spirit."
The wild sea robbers of the age of Alfred and Canute were not insensible to the pleasures of song. The
Sagas and poems in the old Danish are numerous, but are filled with the cruel traits of savage life. There is a
wild interest clinging to these barbarians as they ride amidst the stormy seas, intent on plunder, chanting theij-
fierce war songs, and wrought up to a constant madness. Their poetry has kept them ever before the minds of
later generations, and the North Seas still' ring with the savage shouts of the Norse warriors and the strange
music of their verse.*
♦ Eugene Lawrence : Primer of Medieval literature
It was these same Normans, toned down by Christianity, who marched on Hastings and to victory, chanting
the Hymn of Roland :
''Taillefer, qu! moult bfcn chantoit
Sur un chevaU qui t6c alloit
Durant ceux allant chantant,
D'Oliver et de Roland,
De Ralemagne et des vassals
Qui moururent h. Ron^esvalles/'
So sang old Robert Wace, the poet of the Normans, at the Court of Henry I.
The Marseillaise fired the national heart of modem France ; and the impulsive Irish of to-day may be wrought
up to a frenzy of patriotism, or toned down to a tearful sorrow for the past, by the strains of Erin's wild and varied
harp.
The sea victories achieved by the heroes of modem times have not lacked poets to celebrate them in verse, and
the sailor, with all that pertains to his perilous life and to his home on the trackless deep, has been sung by
minstrels of all degrees.
** The Battle of the Baltic" will tell of " Nelson and the North" long after St. Paul's shall have fallen into
ruin, while the melodies of Charles Dibdin, Cunningham, Barry Cornwall, Gay, David Garrick, and others of more
or less note that have long been familiar to all who are fond of the sea, will live as long as the English language
lasts. But the poet par ixccllence of the English navy was Dibdin.
What was said of the influence of the ballads of ancient Rome in forming the character of the Roman youths
is certainly applicable to the sea songs of Charles Dibdin. He not only sang of England's naval heroes and their
victories, but also of the humble sailor and the sailor's. 1 if e-'of his loyalty to his flag, his courage and his devotion
to duty. Most of his sea songs, indeed, are pervaded by a wholesome moral tone and an elevation of principle that
could not but exert the happiest influence upon the young.
His biographer remarks that Dibdin *s pictures of the sailor's life, " though highly colored and embellished," are
true to reality in their essential features. The sailor is there as he lives — in his courage, generosity, simplicity of
heart, unworldliness, warmth of affection, love of present enjoyment and thoughtlessness of to-morrow.
These features, it is true, are elevated and refined, and united with a delicacy of sentiment and firmness of
principle beyond what are met with in the realities of life.
The faults of the sailor, too, are there — ^his reckless profusion and proneness to intemperate revelry ; but these,
though deprived of their gross and degrading colors, are still so represented as to serve as beacons to be avoided.
It is the embellished truth of Dibdin's pictures which has made them act so powerfully on the class they
represent. In Jack Ratline or Tom Bowline^ the sailor recognizes a brother sailor — a being like himself, but nobler
.and better than himself, whom he would gladly resemble more fully, while he feels himself capable of doing so.
High and generous sentiments, expressed and acted on in circumstances and modes of life similar to his own, from
■engaging his approval and sympathy, come at last to be his own habitual thoughts and principles of conduct The
image of his favorite hero stands between him and the allurements to sensual indulgences. He, too, has his faithful
girl or tender wife — ^his Poll or his Nancy, whom he thinks upon during the lonely watches of the night. His
courage is no longer a brute instinct, sustained by a blind infatuation. He is calm in the midst of battle, remem-
bering that there is an overruling Providence, and yet prepared, should such be the will of Heaven, to die bravely
in his country's cause."
While it is freely admitted that the sailor of to-day is not the sailor of Dibdin's day, yet there is a great
deal that is common to the character of both ; and in Dibdin's songs there is that touch of Nature which makes
us all akin. ** Poor Jack " says :
*• ♦ ♦ • let storms e'er so oft
Take the topsails of sailors aback.
There's a sweet little cherub that sits up aloft.
To keep watch for the life of poor Jack."
What more touching tribute to the memory of a departed shipmate than the lines to Tom Bowling ? He was :
•* The darling of our crew ;
No more he'll hear the tempest howling.
For death has broached him to.
His form was of the manliest beauty.
His heart was kind and soft ;
Faithful below he did his duty.
But now he's gone aloft."
The virtues of another tar are told of Tom Tackle, who
" Was noble, was true to his word ;
If merit brought titles. Tom might be a lord ;
How gayly his bark through life's ocean would sail I
Truth furnished the rigging, and Honor the gale."
And so of Tom Transon, "a seaman sound to the backbone," and scores of others.
The great influence of Dibdin's songs may be estimated from the fact, that in 1803 the British government
engaged him to write a series of songs, " fo keep alive the national feelings against the French^ His biographer
adds : .'• His engagement ceased with the wzxhe thus assisted in bringing to a glorious close"
3
Another instance of official recognition of the inflnence of Song may not be out of place. The peace with
Prance, in 1805, threw thousands of British sailors out of employment, and no adequate means seem to have been
adopted by the government for their care. Numerous ballads were composed and sung in their behalf, in order to
give definite shape to the popular sympathy which their sufferings excited. Among the most noted of these was
one entitled "The Neglected Tar," beginning:
" I sing the British seatman's praise,
A theme renowned in story ;
It well deserves more polished lays.
Oh I 'ti^ your boast and glory.
When mad brained war spreads death arotind.
By them you are protected ;
But when in peace the nation^s found.
The bulwarks are neglected.
Then Oh I protect the hardy tar.
Be mindful of his merit.
And when again you're plunged in 'war.
He'll show his daring spirit"
The fifth stanza runs as follows :
'* Why should the man who knows no fear.
In peace be thus neglected ?
Behold him move along the pier.
Pale, meagre and dejected !
Behold him bagging for employ I
Behold him disregarded I
Then view the anguish in his eye.
And say, are tars rewarded V*
This song is said to have had such an effect upon the seamen of the fleet, that an order was actually issued by
the Britidi Admiralty prohibiting its being sung in the navy !
It was at one time generally believed that Dibdin was the author, and that in consequence of having written
it, his pension was stopped by order of the government But this was a mistake. It was written by Edward
Kushton, of LiverpooL
Whde Dibdin's songs of victory were at the height of their popularity, the infant navy of the United States
suddenly found itself confronted by ships fresh from the glories of Trafalgar. When, therefore, the news spread
over the country that the Constitution had captured the Guerriere, an English frigate of about the same rating,
there was scarcely any bounds to the popular enthusiasm. Songs were composed in honor of the event, and were
sung at public dinners, public meetings and throughout the navy. Hence ** The Constitution and Gucrricre^'** set
to the old tune, **A_ Landlady of Franc^j^he lov'd an Officer so gay," became then, and remains to this day, a
great favorite. *' The United States and A/acedonian^*' ** Tho^ffontety or, Victory Number Five," and others of a
like character followed, which, together with the many made famous in the preceding war for Independence, and
yet popular throughout the country, completed the people's enthusiasm for the little navy which proclaimed and
upheld ** Free Trade and Sailors' Rights /"
This collection has been undertaken to revive the old songs which commemorate our early naval victories, and
to cultivate in our young sailors not only a love for the sea, but also that devotion to their flag whkh distinguished
those who laid the foundation of our naval renown.
In an exceedingly interesting book, entitled " On board the Rocket,"* by Captain Robert C. Adams, there is
such an excellent dissertation on " Shanties " (probably from the French word, chanter^ to sing), that we take the
liberty of reproducing it here. He designates them as ** working songs : " ** These working songs," he observes,
** may be divided into three sets :
** First, those used where a few strong pulls are needed, as in boarding a tack, hauling aft a sheet or tautening a
weather brace. * Haul the bowline * is a favorite for this purpose. The shanty man^ as the solo singer is calkd,
standitig up ' beforehand,' as high above the rest of the crew as he can reach, sings with as many quirks, variations
and quavers as his ingenuity and ability can attempt, '^ Haul the bowline ^ Kitty is my darling ;* then all hands
join in the chorus, ' Haul the bowline ^ the bowline haul! ' shouting the last word with great energy, and suiting
action to it by a combined pull, which must once be witnessed by one who desires an exemplification of ' a long
pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether.' This seldom fails to make the ropes ' come home.'
No. X.— "HAUL THE BOWLINE." |y
m
^m
:^
m
?=?
^ ^-i ■ " ^
Haul the bow - line, Kit-ty is my dar - ling; Haul the bow -line, the bow -line.
haul/
" Then the song is repeated with a slight change in words, ' Haul the bowline, the clipper ship's a rolling,' etc,
and next time, perhaps, * Haul the bowline, our bully mate is growling.*
•* Great latitude is allowed in the words, and the shanty man exercises his own discretion. If he be a man of
little comprehension or versatility, he will say the same words over and over, but if he possesses some wit, he will
insert a phrase alluding to some peculiarity of the ship, or event of the time, which will cause mouths to open
wider and eyes to roll gleefully, while a lively pull follows that rouses the sheet home and elicits the mate's order,
* ^elay / * A good shanty man is highly priced both by oflScer? and crew. His leadership saves many a diy pull,
• D. Lothrop & Co., Boston.
^
and his vocal efiFort is believed to secure so much physical force that he is sometimes allowed to spare his own
exertions and reserve all his energies for the inspiring shanty.
' ' Another common song is :
No. 2.—" HAUL AWAY, JOE."
Oborus.

*' In both of these the emphasis and the pull come at the last word of the chorus, • /oe * and * do,* snd as they
end the strain, put a severe strain on the rope.
" In the second set of working songs, I would place those that are used in long hoists, or where so large a
number of pulls is required that more frequent exertion must be used than is called for by the first set, lest too
much time be occupied. The topsail halyards call most frequently for these songs. One of the most universal,
and, to my ear. the most musical of the songs, is * Reuben Ranzo.' A good shanty man who, with fitting pathos,
recounts the sorrows of ' poor Reuben,' never fails to send the topsail to the masthead at quick notice, nor to create
a passing interest in the listener to the touching melody :

" In this song the pulls are given at the first word, ' Ranzo,' in the chorus ; sometimes at its next occurrence in
addition.
'* Of all the heroines of deck song, Sally Brown's name is most frequently uttered^ and a lively pull always
attends it She figures in several of these songs ; one has as its chorus, * Shantyman and Sally Brown/ but it is.

Oh, Sally Brown, I long to see you.
Chorus, etc.
Oh, Sally Brown, I'll ne'er deceive you.
Chorus, etc.
" It wiU be noticed that neither rhyme nor sentiment has much place in these songs. Each line is usually
repeated twice, even if there be a rhyme impending, for the shantyman's stock must be carefully husbanded.
'* A favorite and frequently used song, in which Bonaparte's fortunes are portrayed in a manner startling to the

'* One of the best illustrations of the absolute nothingness that characterizes the words of these songs, is given by
the utterances attending the melody called ' Shanadore/ which probably means Shenandoah^ a river in Virginia. I

" Many other songs might be named, some of which, peculiar to the Liverpool packets, are of a rowdy nature.
" One cannot but regret that a more rational set of words has not been introduced to this service of song."
We cannot conclude this brief sketch without expressing our satisfaction with the results of the efforts of
Professor D. P. Horton, of Brooklyn, in teaching many of our naval apprentices to sing the songs of the old
navy. It was his enthusiasm, tempered by judgment, and guided by tact, which went so far toward reviving the
true spirit of the sea song that had so nearly disappeared from our forecastles.

To sing each valiant hero's name
Whose deeds have swelled the files of fame,
Requires immortal powers ;
Columbia's warriors never yield
To equal force by sea or field,
Her Eagle never cowers.
Long as Niagara's cataract roars,
Or Erie laves our Northern shores,
Great Brown, thy fame shall rise ;
Outnumbered by a veteran host
Of conquering heroes, Britain's boast —
Conquest was there thy prize.
At Plattsburg, see the Spartan band,
Where gallant Macomb held command,
The unequal host oppose ;
Provost confounded, vanquished flies.
Convinced that numbers won't suffice
Where Freemen are the foes.
Our songs to noblest strains we'll raise
While we attempt thy matchless praise,
Carolina's godlike son ;
While Mississippi rolls his flood.
Or Freedmen's hearts move patriot's bloodi
The palm shall be thine own.
At Orleans— lo I a savage band.
In countless numbers gain the strand,
" Beauty and spoil" the word —
There Jackson with his fearless few.
The invincibles by thousands slew.
And dire destruction poured.
O Britain I when the tale is told
Of Jackson's deeds by fame enrolled,
Should grief and madness rise.
Remember God, the avenger, reigns,
Who witnessed Havre's smoking plains,
And Hampton's female cries.

Another year has yet ite way
Of cheerlessness to flee,
E're homeward bound my barque shall stray
In gladness o'er the sea;
Yet while *neath stranger skies I cruise,
And joys be e'er so few,
A solace still 'twill be to muse
Of absent friends and you, Mary,
Of absent friends and you.
_^_._^
And now, my gentle friend, good-bye.
Calm blessings light your way,
Life's moments pass without a sigh,
Hope never knew decay;
And sometimes, while in joyousness,
The past flits by your view,
Remember one who often thinks
Of absent friends and you, Mary^
Of absent friends and you^

4 The I topsail yards point to the winds, boys.
See aJl clear to reef each course —
Let the foresheet go — don't mind, boys,
Though the weather should be worse.
Fore and aft the spritsail yard get —
Reef the mizzen — see aJl clear —
Hands up, each preventer brace set,
Man the foreyard — cheer, lads, cheer.
5 Now the dreadful thunder rolling,
Peal on peal, contending, clash ;
On our heads fierce rain falls pouring,
In our eyes blue lightnings flash ;
One wide water all around us,
All abctve us one black sky ;
Different deaths at once surround us—
. Hark ! what means that dreadful cry?
6 The I foremast's gone I cries every tongue out,
O er the lee twelve feet 'bove deck ;
A I leak beneath the chest-tree's sprung out-
Call all hands to clear the wreck.
Quick ! the lanyards cut to pieces —
Come, my hearts, be stout and bold !
Plumb the well— the leak increases —
Four feet water in the hold !
7 While I o'er the ship wild waves are beating,
We for wives or children mourn ;
A- 1 las I from hence there's no retreating —
A- 1 las I to them there's no return.
Still the leak is gaining on us.
Both chain-pumps are choked below ;
Heaven have mercy here upon us !
For I only that can save us now.
8 O'er the lee-beam is the land, boys-
Let the guns o'erboard be thrown —
To the pumps come, every hand, boys-
See ! our mizzenmast is gone,
The! leak we've found — it can't pour fast —
We've lighten'd her a foot or more;
Up and rig a jury-foremast —
She I rights! she rights, boys! we're offshore.
9 Now, once more, peace around us beaming
Since kind Heaven has saved our lives
From our eyes joy's tears are streaming.
For our children and our wives :
Grateful hearts now beat in wonder
To I Him who thus prolongs our days —
Hush d to rest the mighty thunder,
Every voice bursts forth in praise.

'Twaslon the 9th of | Febraary, at | Montserrat we | lay,
And|tnere we spy'd the ''In-|surgente" just | at the break oflday.
We I raised the orange | and the blue.
To I see if they our | signals knew,
The I "Constellation" [and her crew.
Of I brave Yankee) boys.
Then all | hands were called to! quarters, while | we pursued in | chase,
With I well prim'd guns, our|tompions out, welljsplic'd the main | brace.
Soon I to the French we | did draw nigh,
Com-|peird to fight, they | were, or fly,
The I word was passed, | " Conquer or die,"
My I brave Yankee | boys.

I Lord our Cannons |thunder'd with] peals tremendous | roar,
And I death upon our I bullets' wings that [drenched their decks widi|gorei
The I blood did from their | scuppers run,
Their [chief exclaimed, *'we|are undone,"
Their I flag they struck, the I battle won,
By the I brave Yankee [boys.
Then I to St Kitts we | steered, we|bro't her safe in | port,
The I grand salute was | fired and (answered from the | fort,
John I Adams in fiillj bumpers toast,

THE "UNITED STATES" AND "MACEDONIAN."
m«* Tone, <*Te Tmn of OolumMA.*
I
The banner of Freedom high floated unfurled,
While the silver-tipt surges in low homage curled,
Flashing bright round the bow of Decatur^ s brave bark,
In contest, an "eagle" — in chasing, a **lark."
The bold United States,
Which four-and -forty rates.
Will ne'er be known to yield — be known to yield or fly.
Her motto is *' Glory ! we conquer or we die."
All canvass expanded to woo the coy gale.
The ship cleared for action, in chase of a sail ;
The foemen in view, every bosom beats high,
All eager for conquest, or ready to die.
The bold United States,
Which four-and-forty rates,
Will ne*er be known to yield — be known to yield or fly,
Her motto is " Glory 1 we conquer or we die."
3
Now havoc stands ready, with optics of flame.
And battle-hounds "strain on the start" for the game;
The blood demons rise on the surge for their prey.
While Pity, rejected, awaits the dread fray.
The bold United States,
Which four-and-forty rates.
Will ne'er be known to yield — ^be known to yield or fly.
Her motto is " Glory ! we conquer or we die."
4
The gay floating streamers of Britain appear.
Waving light on the breeze as the stranger we near ;
And now could the quick-sighted Yankee discern
^^ Macedonian,^* emblazoned at large on her stem.
The bold United States,
Which four-and-forty rates.
Will ne'er be known to yield — ^be known to yield or fly.
Her motto is " Glory ! we conquer or we die."
5
She wait'd our approach, and the contest began.
But to waste ammunition is no Yankee plan ;
In awful suspense every match w^s withheld,
While the bull-dogs of Britain incessantly yelled.
The bold United States,
Which four-and-forty rates.
Will ne'er be known to yield — ^be known to yield or fly,
Her motto is " Glory ! we conquer or we die."
6
Unawed by her thunders, alongside we came.
While the foe seemed enwrapped in a mantle of flame ;
When, prompt to the word, such a flood we return.
That Neptune, aghast, thought his trident would bum.
The bold United States,
Which four-and-forty rates.
Will ne'er be known to yield— be known to yield or fly.
Her motto is " Glory ! we conquer or we die."
The "United States" and " Macedonian."-Concluded.
7
Now the lightning of battle gleams horridly red.
With a tempest of iron and hail-storm of lead ;
And our fire on the foe we so copiously poured,
His mizzen and topmasts soon went by the boaixl.
The bold United States^
Which four-and-forty rates,
Will ne'er be known to )rield— be known to^yield or fly.
Her motto is " Glory ! we conquer or we die."
8
So fierce and so bright did our flashes aspire,
The thought that their cannon had set us on fire,
"The Yankee's in flames !"^very British tar hears.
And hails the false omen with three hearty cheers.
The bold United States,
Which four-and-forty rates,
Will ne'er be known to yield — ^be known to yield or fly.
Her motto is " Glory ! we conquer or we die."
9
In seventeen minutes they found their mistake,
And were glad to surrender and fall in our wake;
Her decks were with carnage and blood deluged o'er.
Where, welt'ring in blood lay an hundred and four.
The bold United States,
Which four-and-forty rates,
Will ne'er be known to yield — ^be known to yield or fly.
Her motto is "Glory ! we conquer or we die."
lO
But though she was made so completely a wreck,
With blood they had scarcely encrimsoned our deck ;
Only five valiant Yankees in the contest were slain,
And our ship in five minutes was fitted again.
The bold United States,
Which four-and-forty rates,
Will ne'er be known to yield— be known to yield or fly.
Her motto is *' Glory ! we conquer or we die."
II
Let Britain no longer lay claim to the seas,
For the trident of Neptune is ours, if we please,
While Hull and Decatur and Jones are our boast,
We dare their whole navy to come on our coast.
The bold United States,
Which four-and-forty rates.
Will ne'er be known to yield — ^be known to yield or fly.
Her motto is ** Glory ! we conquer or we die."
12
Rise, tars of Columbia ! — and share in the £une.
Which gilds HulVs, Decatar^s zxidjones^ bright namei
Fill a bumper, and drink, " Here's success to the cause,
But Decatur supremely deserves our applause."
The bold United States,
Which four-and-forty rates.
Shall ne*er be known to yield— be known to yield or ifyj
Her motto is, " Glory I we conquer or we die."

The Wasp's Frolic.
From **VmT9l Sonffster,'^ 1815.
I
'Twas on board the sloop-of-war '* Wasp," boys,
We set sail from Delaware Bay,
To cruise on Columbia's fair coast, sirs,
Our rights to maintain on the sea.
2
Three days were not past on our station,
When the " Frolic" came up to our view ;
Says Jones, " show the flag of our nation ;*'
Three cheers were then gave by our crew.
3
We boldly bore up to this Briton,
Whose cannon began for to roar ;
The " Wasp" soon her stings from her side ran.
When we on them a brosSside did pour.
Each sailor stood firm at his quarters,
'Twas minutes past forty and three.
When fifty bold Britons were slaughter'd,
. Whilst our guns swept their masts in the sea.
5
Their breasts then with valor still glowing.
Acknowledged the battle we'd won,
On us then bright laurels bestowing,
When to leeward they fired a gun.
6
On their decks we the twenty guns counted,
With a crew for to answer the same ;
Eighteen was the number we mounted.
Being served by the lads of true game.
7
With the " Frolic" in tow, we were standing,
All in for Columbia's fair shore ;
But fate on our laurels was frowning.
Were taken by a seventy-four.
The Enterprise and Boxer.
From <«KaTal Sonctter," 1815..
I
Ho ! all ye brave tars of Columbia,
That for your country do fight,
The rays of fam'd glory shines on you,
That are most brilliantly bright.
2
The Enterprise brig of our Navy,
With a crew undaunted and brave.
Fell in with the British brig Boxer,
And she box'd her men to their grave.
3
Loud roar'd the Enterprise cannon.
And death to the Boxer was hurl'd ;
Her guns spoke the rights of our seamen,
And echoed Free Trade to the world I
Their valor for boxing then ceased,
Acknowledg'd the battle we'd won ;
Their ship being so much disabled.
She quickly stopt firing a gun.
5
Johnny Bull, send no more of your Boxers
Unto Columbia's fair shore,
Lest they get their daylights knock'd out,
And can't see their homes any more.
6
Our Rights we will never surrender.
While a ship can float on the main ;
Free Trade is the Right we contend for.
This Right we still will maintain.
Our Navy.
1813. Tune, "Hall Xlbertj*'
I
On wings of glory, swift as light,
The sound of battle came.
The gallant Hull in glorious fight,
Has won the wreaths of fame.
Let brave Columbia's noble band,
With hearts united rise.
Swear to protect their native land,
Till sacred Freedom dies.
Let brave Decatur's dauntless breast
With patriot ardor glow.
And in the garb of victory drest.
Triumphant, blast the foe.
Let brave, etc.
And Rogers, with his gallant crew,
O'er the wide ocean ride.
To prove their loyal spirit true,
And crush old Albion's pride.
Let brave, etc.
Then hail another Guerriere there,
With roaring broadsides, hail,
And while the thunder rends the air.
See Britain's sons turn pale.
Let brave, etc.
5
The day is ours, my boys, huzza I
The great Commander cries,
While all responsive roar huzza 1
With pleasure-sparkling eyes.
Let brave, etc,
6
Thus shall Columbia's fame be spread^
Her Heaven-bom Eagle soar.
Her deeds of glory shall be read.
When tyrants are no more.
Let brave, etc.
