THE DEOWNING OF CAEE. 13
Air VI. — " Hearts of Oak."
CHORUS.
Then shaded beneath this great royal tree,
Let us from all strife, from all discord, be free ;
Though hardships surround us, let this make amends,
A friend in our need is the surest of friends.
Firm as the oak let us stand, friends sincere let us be,
Our purses are ready
Open to the needy,
In this let all Britons, — all mankind agree.
SONG VIII.
Clje JDtolDning of Care,
A MEDLEY, — IN FOUR AIRS.
Air I. — The Yellotv-hair^d Laddie."
Though winter may fright us, and chill us with cold.
Bright Phoebus can cheer us with rays pure as gold ;
Then let us not murmur, nor dare to complain,
For he that took sunshine can give it again.
The oak, that all winter was barren and bare,
Again spreads his branches to wave in the air;
All nature, rejoicing, appears clad in green ;
Then let mirth and friendship enliven the scene.
The true Sons of Freedom together are met,
And each by his neighbour in order is set ;
While mirth and true friendship give life to the song,
The voice of Contentment the notes shall prolong.
Air II. — " Once I was Mind"
A lady once her husband lost,
And, sighing, looked around,
And saw her children sadly cross'd.
And deep in sorrow drowned,
Air VI. — " Hearts of Oak."
