train,
In Council bold, but bashful on the plain:
How will their grateful bosoms love the verse,
Whose honest lines such great exploits rehearse?
I see their hands prepare the verdant bough,
I feel their laurel wreaths surround my brow;
While that long-honour'd strain, whose magic charms
So oft has called the gallant race to arms,
Shall now at length give place to newer lays,
And Yanky-doodle yield to CRAVEN'S praise.
THE END.
