The Biirgoyne Ballads. 95 Fierce Mars'g?ive his chariot ; gay Hermes his wand ; Alcides, his club and his bow ; Sweet Peace with her olive-branch graced his hand ; And Venus herself did bestow. Thus enrich'd with such gifts as the gods can impart The hero by Jove was address'd ; As you wish to reclaim each American heart, Let justice preside in your breast ; Exhibit the blessings of order and peace As wide as your conquests shall spread ; Let your promise be sacred — rebellion shall cease, And the laurel shall bloom round your head.
