When we behold you shine on life's great stage, With all the wisdom of the Grecian sage; To start the champion of fair Freedom's cause, And glow with ardor to defend her laws. To hurl defiance at the venal tribe, And bid corruption drop the baleful bribe; Implies a noble dignity of mind, And lib'ral thoughts by no mean views confin'd. Go on, great Sir, thy guardian hand extend, To save a realm from dangers which impend; And let the Muse, predictive of success, Applaud that merit Patriots must confess.
