CARRIER'S ADDRESS, 1826.
GEORGETOWN CENTINEL, KY.
The ploughshare tames the savage soils—
And Fulton visits every stream,
Who, till the heart at worth recoils,
Will be the world's admiring theme.
And Fulton visits every stream,

Vallies at Clinton's voice have rose,
And mountains stoop'd their lofty pride,
That Erie might with Ocean close,
Who sweet hath kiss'd her as his bride.

Who sweet hath kiss'd her as his bride.
With a whole Nation's eyes bewet
With drops, that the affections, tell,
Th' illustrious Guest—the good Fayette,
Hath sighing, bade the land farewell!

Th' illustrious Guest—the good Fayette,

This visit to our shores appear'd
Something more pure, than mortals given—
Yea, as a messenger rever'd,
Sent with glad tidings new from heaven!
Something more pure, than mortals given—
Yea, as a messenger rever'd,
Sent with glad tidings new from heaven!
Kentucky saw the wonderous man,
And mark'd the mildness of his eye,
That flash'd, when leading in the van,
Th' embattled sons of Liberty!
And mark'd the mildness of his eye,
That flash'd, when leading in the van,
Th' embattled sons of Liberty!
