General Note: 
Title from caption.; Not indexed in Grases' Historia de la imprenta en Venezuela hasta el fin de la Primera República, 1812, but all Caracas imprints from 1810 were printed by Matthew Gallagher and James Lamb.; The word maestro in statement of responsibility is misprinted as "moestro"; Without music.; Patriotic song with six stanzas and a chorus. printed in two columns.; The chorus reads: Fe constante al amado Fernando / A Caracas renombre inmortal; / Y la America toda conozca / Por divisa la fraternidad.; The first stanza reads: Caraqueños, otra epoca empieza: / De la gloria la senda se abrio: / Un gobierno patriotico y firme / Nuestra dicha a su cargo tomò: / No haya mas que un partido, patriotas, / No haya mas que una causa, una voz, / Quando llama la patria al peligro / Vacilar un momento, es traicion.; In the days immediately following the coup that deposed the viceroy and began the long process of independence, Andrés Bello, Venezuela's first great poet, collaborated with Cayetano Carreño, "maestro de capilla" of the main church of Caracas, in the composing of several "patriotic songs". One of those early efforts became the national anthem of Venezuela. This song was performed for the first time for the Supreme Junta by Cayetano Carreño and six other voices and the accompaniement of the military orchestra of the Batallon Veterano on 23 April 1810, as is detailed following the text of the song. That Bello wrote this patriotic song is known, and even the first few lines were recorded for history, but beyond that the text is not recorded and is not found in his Obras completas or, apparently, anywhere else.
