THE UNITED STATES.
WHILE Discord rends the eastern hemisphere,
Peace, with her train of virtues triumphs here;
Beneath her smiles fair science rears her head,
And all the arts their various treasures spread;
The sk ies benignant shed their genial pow'r,
And plenty, in a rich profusion, show'r ;
Our commerce catches every wind that blows :
To earth's remotest shores our produce goes :
Our sacred laws, freedom and justice frame,
And rival nations celebrate our fame!
Hail happy States ! may fate propitious give.
That long thy sons in harmony may live :
On Union built, till time dissolve the sphere
Thou free, and great, and glorious shalt appear!
