BRAVE WOLFE
Cheer up my young men all,
Let nothing fright you;
Though aft abjections rise
Let it delight you.
Let not your fancy move,
Whenever it comes to trial;
Nor let your courage fail,
At the first denial.
I sat down by my lave,
Thinking that I wooed her,
I sat dawn by my lave,
But sure nat to delude her.
But when I got to speak,
My tongue it do so quiver,
I dare not speak my mind,
Whenever I am with her.
Love here' s a ring of gold,
It is l0ng that I have kept it;
My dear, now for my sake,
I pray you to accept it.
When you the posy read,
Pra.y think upon the giber,
My dear remember me,
Or I am undone forever.
Then Wolfe he took
Of his nost lovely
Although it seemed
To him an act ~ast
his leave,
jewel;
to be,
cruel.
Although its for a span,
I am foreed to leave my lave
My dear wherever I rove
I'll never forget my dove.
So then this valiant youth,
Embarked an the ocean;
T·:) free America,
From factions dire commotion.
He la.ndec at Q.1 ebec,
1.
Being all brave and hearty;
The cityto attack;
With his most gallant party.
Then Wolfe drew up his men
In rank and file so pretty,
On ~bra:nhlltn' s to fly heights,
Before thiR noble city.

BRAVE WOLFE
A distance fro~ the town,
The noble French did meet themj
In d-:>uble m1mber there,
Resolved for t-:> beat them.
M-:>ntca lm and this bra.ve y-:>uth,
T-:>gether tbey arewalking;So well they do agree,
Like brothers they are talking.
Then each one tD his post,
As they no now retire,
Oh, then their nuwberous hosts,
Began their c'lreadful fire.
Then instant from his horse,
Fell this most noble hero;
May we lament his bss,
In words -:>f deepest sorrow,.
The French are seen to break,
Their column all are flying;
Then Wolfe he seems to wake,
Though in the act of dying.
And lifted up his !"lead,
The drums did sound and rattle;
And t-:> ris army said,
I pray how go the battle.
His Aid-de-Camp replyed,
Brave general 'tis in our favour
Quebec and all her pride,
'Tis nothing now can save her.
She falls into our hands,
With all her wealth and treasure;
0 then brave Wolfe reply~d;
I ruit the w:>rld with pleasure.
