Archivum Musicum
Description: Composed to the tune of "British Grenadiers," the lyrics of this hymn were used to draw forth courage in American volunteer soldiers. The song is also called "A Song on Liberty." The song warns patriots not to let “Americay,” as its pronounced in the text, meet the sad fate of two proud civilizations from the past: “the seat of science, Athens” and “earth’s proud mistress, Rome.” The song also reminds us that Britain - called by her poetic name, “Albion” - has been defeated in the past, whereas Americans have never “fallen a prey.”
LYRICS:
That seat of science Athens,
And earth’s proud mistress, Rome,
Where now are all their glories
We scarce can find a tomb.
Then guard your rights, Americans,
Nor stoop to lawless sway,
Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose
For North America.
That seat of science Athens,
And earth’s proud mistress, Rome,
Where now are all their glories
We scarce can find a tomb.
Then guard your rights, Americans,
Nor stoop to lawless sway,
Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose
For North America.
Then guard your rights, Americans,
Nor stoop to lawless sway,
Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose
For North America.

Subtitle corrections 1:07 : "The world shall KNOW we're masters here," 1:10 : "and HASTEN on that day," 1:26 : Lift up your HAND, GOOD PEOPLE," 1:34 : shall LAY his SNARES in vain;" 1:37 : and should dishonored all HIS force" 1:40 : we'd meet HIM in array," 1:44 and fight, and shout, and PROUDLY fight" (repeat same 1:49) Thanks for sharing the song, but damn dude.

[@duglife2230]

Might just be me, but I think 1:37 is actually "And should he summon all his force, we'll meet him in array!"

It was a popular tune. The people who lived in the colonies were essentially British.

Same reason God Save the King was everywhere for a time. Popularity, and it was easy to sing along too and instantly recognizable.

Here we go with the Left-wing bullshit. You really think the "rich men" benefiting from a regulatory system that grants them immunity from competition would really prefer market forces dictating their wealth? You guys have a sophomoric understanding of reality. You're just saying shit to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
