    Our common Father and Deliverer, to whose prudence, wisdom and
    valour we owe our Peace, Liberty and Safety, now leads and
    directs in the great councils of the nation . . . and now we
    celebrate an independent Government--an original Constitution!
    an independent Legislature, at the head of which we this day
    celebrate, The Father of his Country--We celebrate Washington!
    We celebrate an independent Empire!

O Washington! thrice glorious name,
What due rewards can man decree--
Empires are far below thy aim,
And scepters have no charms for thee;
Virtue alone has your regards,
And she must be your great reward.

Where may the wearied eye repose,
When gazing on the Great;
Where neither guilty glory glows,
Nor despicable state?

The Cincinnatus of the West
Whom envy dared not hate,
Bequeathed the name of Washington
To make man blush; there was but one.

His work well done, the leader stepped aside
Spurning a crown with more than kingly pride.
Content to wear the higher crown of worth,
While time endures, "First citizen of earth."

Simple and brave, his faith awoke
Ploughmen to struggle with their fate;
Armies won battles when he spoke,
And out of Chaos sprang the state.
