Great with the rifle, and great with the ax,

Sending their notions over the oceans

To fill empty stomachs and straighten bent backs;

Swift to take chances that end in the dollar,

Yet open of hand when the dollar is made;

Maintaining the meeting, exalting the scholar,

But a little too anxious about a good trade.

This is young Jonathan, son of old John,

Positive, peaceable, firm in the right.

Saxon men all of us, may we be one,
