THE CHAIRING.

Exalted thus the members ride,
Elected in their Country's cause,
In England's Honor they have pride,
And merit Britain's just applause.
O long may Virtue, Wisdom, Love,
Our noble Senators adorn,
May those elected faithful prove,
And thus be proudly borne.
Fair Lady, may thy Lover live,
Exalted in thine eye,
And feel his best prerogative
Is Women's Love, and Constancy.
