Full Lyrics
FROM Vernon's Mount behold the Hero rise!
Resplendent forms attend him through the skies;
The shades of warworn veterans round him throng,
And lead, enwrapt, their honor'd Chief along!
A laurel wreath th' immortal WARREN bears,
An arch triumphal MERCER's hand prepares:
Young LAWRENCE, erst, th' avenging bolt of war,
With port majestic guides the glittering car;
MONTGOMERY's godlike form directs the way,
And GREENE unfolds the gates of endless day:
While Angels, "trumpettongued," proclaim thro' air,
"Due honours for the FIRST OF MEN prepare."
