Original text and translations

English text

Adapted from first verse of "Tudor" by Thomas James Mathias (1754-1835)

Fill the horn of glossy blue,
Ocean’s bright cerulean hue;
Briskly quaff the flav’rous mead,
‘Tis a day to joy decreed.
High the fame of Tudor’s birth,
Valour his, and conscious worth.
