The shining arms with haste prepare,

Then to the glorious combat fly;
Our minds unclogg'd with farther care,

Except to overcome or die :
And, for reward, &c.

They fight, oppression to increase,

We for our liberties and laws;
It were a fin to doubt succefs,

When freedom is the noble cause :
And, for reward, of the just gods we claim
A life with freedom, or a death with fame.
