作曲 : anonymous
Cheer up your hearts young men let nothing fright you
Be of a gallant mind, let that delight you;
Let not your courage fail till after trial,
Nor let your fancy move at the first denial.
I went to see my love only to woo her,
I went to gain her love not to undo her;
Whene'er I spake a word my tongue did quiver,
I could not speak my mind while I was with her
Love, here's a diamond ring long time I've kept it,
Tis for your sake alone, if you'll accept it;
When you the posy read, think on the giver
Madam, remember me, undone forever.
Brave Wolf then took his leave of his dear jewel
Most sorely did she grieve, saying don't be cruel
Said he, tis for a space that I must leave you,
Yet love, where'er I go, I'll not forget you.
So then this gallant youth did crosa the ocean,
To free America from her invasion
He landed at Quebec with all his party,
The city to attack, both brave end hcarty
Brave Wolf drew up his men in form most pretty,
On the plains of Abraham, before the city;
There just before the town the French did meet them
With double numbers they resolv'd to beat them
Each man then took his post at their retire,
So then these numerous hosts began to fire:
The cannon on each side did roar like thunder,
And youths in all their pride were tora asunder
The drams did loudly beat, colors were fying
The purple gore did stream and men lay dying ;
When shot from off his horse, fell this breve hero,
And we lement his loss in weeds of sorrow.
The French hegan to break, their ranks were flying,
Brave Wolf then seem'd to wake as he lay dying:
He lifted up his head while guns did rattle,
And to his army said, how goes the battle ?
His aid-de-camp reply'd 'tis in our favor,
Quebec with all her pride, we soon shall have her;
She'll fall into our hands, with all her treasure,
O then reply'd brave Wolf, I die with pleasure.
