	224 THE CAMP WAR-SONG. Rebel miscreants, stand from under ! Ye who bear the traitor's name ! Every star's a bolt of thunder — Every stripe, a living flame! Arise, &c. By our patriot sires in glory — By our sainted Washington — We will fight, till every Tory Falls, that breathes beneath the sun ! Arise, &c. By our homes, our hearths, and altars — By our sweethearts, children, wives — He who from our Union falters, Dies, hath he a thousand lives ! Arise, &c. Under Grant, our valiant leader, We will lay the traitors low ; Crushed to .earth, each vile seceder Soon shall to our vengeance bow. Arise, &c. Abraham ! thy name shall cheer us 'Mid the war-field's bloody strife;
