The former presided over the feast at which these toasts were drunk : The Battle Day. Stormy end portentous was Us morning to the little band of Green Mountain boys ; they despaired not, and the God of battles crowned its evening with the star of victory (fen, John Stark. V memory will ever be Cherished by a grateful people. The following song, composed for the occasion by J. Hastings, jun was here introduced : Stark's Address before the battle of Bennington Tunc " Scots wha hae ivi Wallace bled." Stand the ground's your own, my braves" Stand nor cower to foreign si tves Stand, or fall in honor's graves Freemen live, or die. Soldiers, freemen, row's the hour, Yonder foe is in our power Firm amid the battle's shower Strike for liberty. Mark your leaders, hear their call ' Herick, Warner, Walbiidge all They triumphantly may fall. But shall never fiec. Breast to breast maintain the ground Let your deeds the foe confound Every motion deal a wound Death at every blow. Honor, country, all that's dear.
