II. CHORUS (Unaccompanied).
Son of our Queen!Our hearts' belov'd—our ever heart-true Queen—
We recognise in thee
The seaboard branch of that dear island Tree,
Sacred to Science—Art—and Liberty—
Queen and Queen Consort! Chronicled must be
Thy Royal Mother's Throne—
Like a pure star that shines alone—
The most beneficent reign
In Britain's history.
