AIR.

[With a Trumpet.]
Hark! the Trumpet sounds to Arms!
I come, I come, the Warrior cries,
And from scornful CELIA flies,
To court VICTORIA's Charms.
CELIA beholds his alter'd Brow,
And wou'd regain her Lover now.
Hark! the Trumpet sounds to Arms!
I come, I come, the Warrior cries,
And from scornful CELIA flies,
To court VICTORIA's Charms.
