Convivial Song, Sung at WINDSOR, on the evening of the FOURTH OF JULY.

Composed for the occasion—by R. TYLER.

TUNE—"Here's to our Noble Selves, Boys."

COME fill each brimming glass, boys,

Red or white has equal joys,

Come fill each brimming glass, boys,

And toast your country's glory;

Does any here to fear incline,

And o'er Columbia's danger whine,

Why let him quaff this gen'rous wine,

He'll tell another story.

II.

Here's Washington, the brave, boys,

Source of all Columbia's joys,

Here's Washington, the brave, boys,

Come tile and toast him standing;

For he's the hero firm and brave,

Who all our country's glory gave,

And once again he shall us save,

Our armies bold commanding.

III.

Here's to the gallant Tar, boys;

Whole cannon's roar our foe annoys,

Here's to the gallant Tar, boys,

His country's cause defending;

For warlike Truxton's noble name,

Like Nelson's shall extend his fame,

And loud through all the earth proclaim,

His glory never ending.

IV.

Here's to our native land, boys,

Land of liberty and joys,

Here's to our native land, boys,

Your grasses raise for drinking;

And be that will not drink this toast,

May he in France of freedom boast,

There dangling on a lanterne post,

Or in the Rhone be sinking.

V.

Here's to our Vermont FAIR, boys,

Pledges bright of Fed'ral joys,

Here's to our Vermont FAIR, boys,

Fell high to Love and Beauty;

For while we toast their glowing charms,

Their virtue ev'ry bosom warms,

We'll die to guard them safe from harms,

It is a Fed'ral duty.

VI.

Here's to Vermont State, boys,

And all her merly rustic joys,

Here's to Vermont State, boys,

Columbia's [...]

For while our [...] ascend on high,

And while our [...] mock the sky,

Our Independence, Liberty,

We never will surrender.

VII.

Here's on the [...]ge of Quincy, boys,

[...]

Here's to the Sage of [...]

Who guards [...]

For while we quaff the boozy wine,

And sense and tipsy mirth combine,

With temp'rate head [...] sublime,

And for our good in thinking.

VIII.

Now come join hand in hand, boys,

M [...]ic type of Fed'ral joys,

Now come join hand in hand, boys,

Like brother, brother greeting;

For while our union we pursue,

'Tis I and he, and you and you,

Our pleasure all may yet renew

At our next Fed'ral meeting.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
