“May plow and harrow, spade and tack,

Remain the arms of Anahuac,

So that her rich and boundless plains

May yearly yield all sorts of grains.

May all religious discords fall

And friendship be the creed of all.

With tolerance your pastor views

All sects of Christians, Turks, and Jews.

I now demand three rousing cheers,

Great Austin’s health, and pioneers.”
