WashingtonH
Fair Freedom’s chosen son,
Born to command!
While this great globe shall roll,
Thy deeds, from pole to pole,
Shall shake Columbia’s soul
With virtue’s praise.
Millions, unborn, to save—
Freedom to worlds he gave—
Liberty’s chief.
Terrific god of war,
Seated in Victory’s car,
Fame hails him from afar,
Virginia’s boast.
