Oh, shall we shatter our ancient name, And lower our patriot crest, And leave a heritage dark with shame To the infant upon the breast? Nay, nay, and the answer blent With a chorus is southward sent: "Ye claim to be free, and so are we; Let your fellow-freemen alone, For a Southerner never shall place his heel On the men of the Northern Zone."
