The King’s Anthem.
Fame let thy trumpet sound,Tell all the world around,Great George is King.Tell Rome, and France, and Spain,Britannia scorns their chain;All their vile arts are vain,Great George is King.
He peace and plenty brings,While Rome’s deluded kingsWaste and destroy:Then let his people sing,Long live great George our King,From whom such blessings spring,Freedom and joy.
FINIS.
