Hexham, 28th February, 1803.


THE LOYAL HEXHAM VOLUNTEERS.

A NEW SONG.

WRITTEN BY JASPER POTTS.

Britannia scarce had planted the olive on our isle,

Ere French insidious policy our future hopes beguile;

Regardless of their former league, bent on despotic sway,

Each British subject’s property they think to make their prey.

But may each loyal Briton
