GEORGE AND BRITAIN SAVE.

While deeds of Hell deface the world,
and Gallia's throne in ruins lies,
While round the world revolt is hurld'd
and Discord's banefull banner flies.
Loud shall the loyal Briton sing
To arms! to arms! your bucklers bring.
To shield our Country guard our King,
And George and Britain save.

Ne'er shall the desolating woe,
That shames with horror Europe o’er,
To us is hideous image shew,
Or sleep in blood this happy shore.
Firm as our rock-bound isle we'll stand,
With watchful eye and iron hand,
To wield the might of Britain's land,
And George and Britain save.

While wide threating frenzy burns,
And prostrate nations mourn in rage,
Sternly his eye the Briton turns
To Edward's and to Henry's page.
