'Twas fair Rowena, Saxon maid,

In blue-ey'd majesty array'd,

Presented 'neath their witching roll

To British Chief the wassail bowl.

She touch'd to him, nor then in vain,

He back return'd the health again.

Thus 'tis with feelings kind as true

They drink the tribute ever due,

Nor would they less, tho' truth denied it,

Their love for woman would decide it.
