Language PATRIOTISM. 
The Grefen Mountaineer the Stark of Bennington 
When on the field his band the Hessians fought, 
Briefly he spoke' before the fight began 
" Soldiers ! those German gentlemen are bought, 
For four pounds eight and sevenpence per man, 
By England's king a bargain, as is thought. 
Are we worth more ? Let's prove it now we can ; 
For we must beat them, boys, ere set of sun, 
Or Molly Stark's a widow." It was done. 
Hallkck. 
Give me the death of those 
Who for their country die ; 
And O, be mine like their repose 
When cold and low they lie. 
Their loveliest Mother JEarth 
Enshrines the fallen brave ; 
In her sweet lap who gave them birth 
They find their tranquil grave. 
MONTOOMERT. 
They never fail who die 
In a great cause : 
They but augment the deep and sweeping thoughts 
Which overpower all others, and conduct 
The world, at last, to freedom.
