FRANCAIS, que ces jours memorables, Soient le sceau de notre union ; Ameriquains incomparables O Vertueuse nation !—Bis.
Faissons les sermens inviolables, De rester a jamais unis, Que, tous les tyrans reunis, Tombent sous nos coups redoutables,
Aux armes Citoyens, formez vos bataillons Marchez, Marchons, Qu'un sang impur abreuve vos sillons.
IMITATED
FRENCHMEN, too long the port of factions, This day should quench fell discord's flame Americans, whose virtuous actions, Excel the proudest nations' claim.
Let us forever be united, Conspiring kings our wrath shall dread; Our thunders bursting on their head, Shall hurl them from their thrones affrighted.
Arm, Citizens, to arms ! Arrange the warlike band ; March on, march on, With blood impure, Imbrue your thirsty land!
