A Song on the Grand Illumination in Glasgow.
Come all you brave heroes now join in my chorus
Who wish to be glorius in fame and renown
And praise that great donor that made us victorious,
With laurels of glory to the British crown.
Who wish to be glorius in fame and renown
And praise that great donor that made us victorious,
With laurels of glory to the British crown.
No more we shall languish in sorrow or anguish
Since Britons have vanquish'd their proud daring-foes,
But firmly stand still united in one,
With the old ancient thistle the shamrock and Rose.
