THE STAR OF BRUNSWICK.
Illustrious Brunswick's glorious Star,
At last, with blaze effulgent shines;
The fiend of scandal flies afar,
Defeated in his base designs.
Sons of Freedom, the laurel-wreath entwine,
Round the crown of Caroline!
At last, with blaze effulgent shines;
The fiend of scandal flies afar,
Defeated in his base designs.
Sons of Freedom, the laurel-wreath entwine,
Round the crown of Caroline!
Thus virtue ever, in the end,
Can show her beauteous smiling face,
While none her en'mies will defend,
But brand them still with fell disgrace.
Hail, Britannia, Britannia, hail thy Queen,
Freed from harm by Power unseen.
Can show her beauteous smiling face,
While none her en'mies will defend,
But brand them still with fell disgrace.
Hail, Britannia, Britannia, hail thy Queen,
Freed from harm by Power unseen.
