THE FIREMAN'S SONG. H! is there not now any fireman's song, I think it a pity they're neglected so long, For wherever, wherever, wherever they be, They're always true-hearted, merry and free. Ding, dong, bang away, Engines now, drag away, Off with your hose, and play away. When fire is called, and the bells loud ring, There's not one among us that will be slow. And now to a fire how nimbly we trip, To keep the cold out, and prevent its striking in, Now here is a health to firemen all, Engines now, drag away, Off with your hose, and play away. SAILOR'S TEMPERANCE SONGS. SONG. THE TEMPERANCE SHIP. The tempest's fury she outbraves, Speed, speed the Temperance Ship! Mothers and children cease to weep, We wish to take you all on board- Speed, speed the Temperance Ship! 'Tis Israel's God alone can keep Who is the contrite drunkard's friend. Speed, speed the Temperance Ship! Ye young and aged shout, Behold her sailing o'er the deep! With all her streamers out, Bound for the true te-total shore Where streams of death are drank no more. SONG. THE SEAMAN'S LAY. AIR.-Oh! no, we never mention her. LIST, shipmates, to a seamen's lay But Grog's a lad of fits and starts; But if at times he's sharp and quick, And though you hear him brag full oft I never knew him go aloft, When Temperance would not follow. But when he's had the drop he likes- 'Tis then aloft, and lying out, To reef, or stow, or bend, Jack Temperance has the ready hand Oh! Temperance is a seaman bold And oft, when seas like mountain's roll'd, White breakers thundering on the lee, 3 'Tis he can put the ship about— Blow high, blow low, on him depend; The kindest, truest, firmest friend T SONG. RULE, TEMPERANCE, RULE. EMPERANCE, with pinions widely spread, And blessings by ner-influence shed Charter her rule in every land. Rule, temperance, rule-true temperance, rule the age, She strikes not with the faulchion's edge, With it to conquer and to save. Rule, temperance, rule--true temperance, rule the age, And stamp an era bright on history's page. And e'en upon the raging main, When shattered barks are tempest-tost, That magic pledge shall hold its reign, And bind the seaman to his post. Rule, temperance, rule-true temperance, rule the age, And stamp an era bright on history's page. To rouse the mind to virtue's call All reckless of the taunt of fools Offending none, inviting all, She comes, she conquers, and she rules. Rule, temperance, rule-true, temperance, rule the age, And stamp an era bright on history's page. OH WILD IS THE PATH. H wild is the path of the son of the sea, Who launches his bark on the perilous tide; But wilder by far is the reef studded lee, Where drunkards 'mid billows of drunkenness ride. Oh fierce is the storm that the mariner braves, Oh hungry as death are the monsters that prey, Where drunkards 'mid billows of drunkenness creep. Oh God, save the sailor with heavenly force, 5 By the mild cheering light of the temperance star. L SONG. C. W. Denison: THE TEMPERANCE CREW. AIR." The Bold Buccaneer. UFF up, boys! clew up, and furl every sail; Though rocks are a-lee, she will laugh at the gale, CHORUS. Tho' rocks are a-lee, she will laugh at the gale, |
