Atat avocatul Francis Scott Key, cat si cumnatul sau, judecatorul Joseph H. Nicholson erau amatori de muzica de petreceri. Iata prima strofa din unul din cantecele lor favorite, care era adesea cantat in pub-urile britanice prin secolul 18: 

                   To Anacreon in Heaven, where he fat in full glee,
                   A few fons of Harmony fent a petition,
                  That He their Infpirer and Patron would be;
                  When this anfwer arrived from the Jolly Old Grecian
                  "Voice, Fiddle, and Flute,
                  "no longer be mute,
                  "I'll lend you my Name and infpire you to boot,
                  "And, befides, I'll infruct you like me to entwine
                  "The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine.
