Last DUETTO with all the Instruments.

Brit.
Gently smooth thy Flight, O Time!

Aug.
Smoothly wing thy Flight, O Time!

Both.
And as thou flying growest old,
Still this happy Race behold
In BRITANNIA's Court Sublime.

Brit.
Lead along their smiling Hours;

Aug.
Long produce their smiling Hours;

Both.
Blest by all auspicious Pow'rs.

Brit.
Gently smooth thy Flight, O Time!

Aug.
Smoothly wing thy Flight, O Time!

Both.
And as thou flying growest old,
Still this happy Race behold
In BRITANNIA's Court Sublime.
