“Should Buonapart' come with his sans culotte band, And a new sort of freedom we don't understand, And make us an offer to give us as much As France has bestow'd on the Swiss and the Dutch, His fraud and his force Will be futile of course; We wish for no Frenchified Freedom.”

“The with rapture behold, Overshadow our realm with his plumage of gold! The flood-gates of glory are open on high, And Warren and Mercer descend from the sky!

Unite, and the foes to your freedom defy, Till the continent sinks, and the ocean is dry!”
