Forgot what I was originally researching, saw a squirrel…

 

So apparently the 'Star-Spangled Banner':

 

  • Has four verses.

 

  • Was originally written as a poem and later set to the music of the theme for the Society of Anacreon, which was a gentleman’s club that met monthly to listen to music of questionable tastes and to socialize.

4th verse:

 

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war's desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
