| AMIDST the clamour of exulting joys | C |
| Which triumph forces from the patriot heart | D |
| Grief dares to mingle her soul piercing voice | E |
| And quells the raptures which from pleasures start | D |
| O WOLFE to thee a streaming flood of woe | F |
| Sighing we pay and think e'en conquest dear | G |
| QUEBEC in vain shall teach our breast to glow | F |
| Whilst thy sad fate extorts the heart wrung tear | H |
| Alive the foe thy dreadful vigour fled | I |
| And saw thee fall with joy pronouncing eyes | J |
| Yet they shall know thou conquerest though dead | I |
| Since from thy tomb a thousand heroes rise | J |
