Francis Scott Key wrote the poem that was set to the music written by John Stafford Smith. Music derived from a British pub song named "Anacreon in Heaven" and composed by John Stafford Smith. There are timimg and some note differences. The version published by Sousa in 1905 is what we know today as "Star Spangled Banner"
"To Anacreon in Heav'n, where he sat in full glee,
A few Sons of Harmony sent a petition;
That he their Inspirer and Patron wou'd be;
When this answer arrived from the Jolly Old Grecian;
"Voice, Fiddle, and Flute,
No longer be mute,
I'll lend you my name and inspire you to boot,
And besides I'll instruct you like me, to intwine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine."
