We here challenge you all,
And believe British bayonets will your spirits appal;
For your pride to chastise, see a nation appears;
In the van march her loyal, her brave Volunteers!
Come the day when the foe on our shore dare descend,
Like the lion defending his den, each will feel;
For the world ’gainst our safety in vain will contend,
While fair freedom and courage support their lov’d weal:
And along with the brave,
Who their country will save,
