English text

The glass was just tim'd to the critical hour,

When we heard the report of the guns of the Tower;

Thanks to kind heav'n, who the blessing contriv'd,

No sooner we drank it, but our Monarch arriv'd.

The theme let's continue, and our bumpers advance:

Success to old England, confusion to France!
