_Marg._ This is a cheering sight!
Soon may this warmth be general; and may Henry Bask in its genial suns.h.i.+ne.--England, awhile, farewell!
And if in future times--no doubt 'twill be so-- Thy King unite his people to his confidence, And his commanding virtues, mild, yet kingly, Shall draw the breath of rapturous loyalty From the gilt palace to the clay-built cottage, Then will thy realm, indeed, be enviable.
Strike!----Then on.
_Procession of SOLDIERS, and Grand Chorus of VILLAGERS._
_Sea-girt England, fertile land!_ _Plenty, from her richest stores,_ _Ever, with benignant hand,_ _Her treasure on thy bosom pours._ _England! to thyself be true;_ _When thy realm is truly blest,_ _'Tis when a monarch's love for you_ _Is by your loyalty confest._
THE END.
