HAIL! thou dear thou gallant boy,
Oh! be our hero, be our joy;
May "love and glory"fire thy soul,
Inspired by virtue's pure controul;
And then our hearts with joy sincere,
Would bless our noble fusileer.

Though we are now resigned to grief,
It may be thine to bring relief;
Oh! let us see thy patriot name
Recorded in the lists of fame;
And then our hearts with joy sincere,
Will bless our noble fusileer.
