c;i:ni:r l jackon. Hail to the Hero of the West ! The dauntless chief of Orleans r)lain; He ever comes a welcome guest Who never drew sword in vain. Peace peace forever to the brave Who fought and fell by Jackson's side! Who slept within one hallowed grave Their country's boast their country's pride Twine twine around the Hero's brows A fadeless wreath by beauty wove; Freemen! for vou he struck the blows To shield your fame to win your love. Yet, shameful truth! there live on earth, Who seek to blast his well earned fame; Who sicen while they feel his worth. And madden when thy hear his name. Foot- worthless reptiles ! still go on Ejet yotir venom vent your spite ; Ye did the same to Washington ! Then sink to inf unv and night. BOS'DN li"ItD, in 1819.
