Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDECCE FDGDDDHHD CICIJKLLK| Pompey what fortune gives you back | A |
| To the friends and the gods who love you | B |
| Once more you stand in your native land | C |
| With your native sky above you | B |
| Ah side by side in years agone | D |
| We've faced tempestuous weather | E |
| And often quaffed | C |

| From the same canteen together | E |

| When honor at Philippi fell | F |
| A prey to brutal passion | D |
| I regret to say that my feet ran away | G |
| In swift Iambic fashion | D |
| You were no poet soldier born | D |
| You stayed nor did you wince then | D |
| Mercury came | H |
| To my help which same | H |
| Has frequently saved me since then | D |
| - | |
| But now you're back let's celebrate | C |
| In the good old way and classic | I |
| Come let us lard our skins with nard | C |
| And bedew our souls with Massic | I |
| With fillets of green parsley leaves | J |
| Our foreheads shall be done up | K |
| And with song shall we | L |
| Protract our spree | L |
| Until the morrow's sun up | K |
