Hail, happy day, when, smiling like the morn, / Fair Freedom rose New-England to adorn: / The northern clime beneath her genial ray, / Dartmouth, congratulates thy blissful sway: / Elate with hope her race no longer mourns, / Each soul expands, each grateful bosom burns, / While in thine hand with pleasure we behold
The silken reins, and Freedom's charms unfold.
