Though factions dire around him wait,
Yet firm and fix'd is he.
To shew that freedom's truest son
Is the illustrious Wellington!

And see around his noble brow
Three various wreaths combin'd,
The laurel, and the olive bough,
With mercy's lilies twined.
All, all these wreaths were nobly won,
By th' all-conqu'ring Wellington!
