On Mr. CRUGER's Return from America,
one of the members for Bristol.
Ye sons of freedom, now rejoice
In loud exulting strain!
The hero of Bristolia's choice,
The man who claims the people's voice,
Returns, with glory crown'd, again!
In loud exulting strain!
The hero of Bristolia's choice,
The man who claims the people's voice,
Returns, with glory crown'd, again!
CHORUS.
Iö Pæan! Hail! great Cruger!Iö Pæan! Hail! great Cruger!
To welcome thee on shore,
Bristolian cannons roar:
While we triumphant laurels wear,
And consecrate the day,
And wave our banners high in air,
Our dazzling trophies proudly rear,
He comes!
Huzza! huzza! huzza!
