Too long have Tyranny and Power combined	A
To sway with iron sceptre o'er mankind	A
Long has Oppression worn th' imperial robe	B
And Rapine's sword has wasted half the globe	B
O'er Europe's cultured realms and climes afar	C
Triumphant Gaul has pour'd the tide of war	D
To her fair Austria veil'd the standard bright	E
Ausonia's lovely plains have own'd her might	E
While Prussia's eagle never taught to yield	F
Forsook her tow'ring height on Jena's field	F
	-
Oh gallant Fred'ric could thy parted shade	G
Have seen thy country vanquish'd and betray'd	G
How had thy soul indignant mourn'd her shame	H
Her sullied trophies and her tarnish'd fame	H
When Valour wept lamented BRUNSWlCK's doom	I
And nursed with tears the laurels on his tomb	I
When Prussia drooping o'er her hero's grave	J
Invoked his spirit to descend and save	J
Then set her glories then expired her sun	K
And fraud achieved e'en more than conquest won	K
	-
O'er peaceful realms that smiled with plenty gay	L
Has desolation spread her ample sway	L
Thy blast oh Ruin on tremendous wings	M
Has proudly swept o'er empires nations kings	M
Thus the wild hurricane's impetuous force	N
With dark destruction marks its whelming course	N
Despoils the woodland's pomp the blooming plain	O
Death on its pinion vengeance in its train	O
Rise Freedom rise and breaking from thy trance	P
Wave the dread banner seize the glittering lance	P
With arm of might assert thy sacred cause	Q
And call thy champions to defend thy laws	R
How long shall tyrant power her throne maintain	O
How long shall despots and usurpers reign	O
Is honour's lofty soul for ever fled	S
Is virtue lost is martial ardour dead	S
Is there no heart where worth and valour dwell	T
No patriot WALLACE no undaunted TELL	T
Yes Freedom yes thy sons a noble band	U
Around thy banner firm exulting stand	U
Once more 'tis thine invincible to wield	F
The beamy spear and adamantine shield	F
Again thy cheek with proud resentment glows	V
Again thy lion glance appals thy foes	V
Thy kindling eye beam darts unconquer'd fires	W
Thy look sublime the warrior's heart inspires	X
And while to guard thy standard and thy right	E
Castilians rush intrepid to the fight	E
Lo Britain's generous host their aid supply	Y
Resolved for thee to triumph or to die	Y
And glory smiles to see Iberia's name	H
Enroll'd with Albion's in the book of fame	H
	-
Illustrious names still still united beam	Z
Be still the hero's boast the poet's theme	Z
So when two radiant gems together shine	A2
And in one wreath their lucid light combine	A2
Each as it sparkles with transcendant rays	B2
Adds to the lustre of its kindred blaze	B2
	-
Descend oh Genius from thy orb descend	C2
Thy glowing thought thy kindling spirit lend	C2
As Memnon's harp so ancient fables say	L
With sweet vibration meets the morning ray	L
So let the chords thy heavenly presence own	D2
And swell a louder note a nobler tone	D2
Call from the sun her burning throne on high	Y
The seraph Ecstacy with lightning eye	Y
Steal from the source of day empyreal fire	E2
And breathe the soul of rapture o'er the lyre	F2
	-
Hail Albion hail thou land of freedom's birth	G2
Pride of the main and Phoenix of the earth	G2
Thou second Rome where mercy justice dwell	T
Whose sons in wisdom as in arms excel	T
Thine are the dauntless bands like Spartans brave	J
Bold in the field triumphant on the wave	J
In classic elegance and arts divine	A2
To rival Athens' fairest palm is thine	A2
For taste and fancy from Hymettus fly	Y
And richer bloom beneath thy varying sky	Y
Where Science mounts in radiant car sublime	H2
To other worlds beyond the sphere of time	H2
Hail Albion hail to thee has fate denied	I2
Peruvian mines and rich Hindostan's pride	I2
The gems that Ormuz and Golconda boast	J2
And all the wealth of Montezuma's coast	J2
For thee no Parian marbles brightly shine	A2
No glowing suns mature the blushing vine	A2
No light Arabian gales their wings expand	U
To waft Sab an incense o'er the land	U
No graceful cedars crown thy lofty hills	K2
No trickling myrrh for thee its balm distils	K2
Not from thy trees the lucid amber flows	K2
And far from thee the scented cassia blows	K2
Yet fearless Commerce pillar of thy throne	D2
Makes all the wealth of foreign climes thy own	D2
From Lapland's shore to Afric's fervid reign	O
She bids thy ensigns float above the main	O
Unfurls her streamers to the favouring gale	L2
And shows to other worlds her daring sail	L2
Then wafts their gold their varied stores to thee	M2
Queen of the trident empress of the sea	M2
	-
For this thy noble sons have spread alarms	K2
And bade the zones resound with Britain's arms	K2
Calp 's proud rock and Syria's palmy shore	D
Have heard and trembled at their battle's roar	D
The sacred waves of fertilizing Nile	N2
Have seen the triumphs of the conquering isle	N2
For this for this the Samiel blast of war	D
Has roll'd o'er Vincent's cape and Trafalgar	E2
Victorious RODNEY spread thy thunder's sound	O2
And NELSON fell with fame immortal crown'd	O2
Blest if their perils and their blood could gain	O
To grace thy hand the sceptre of the main	O
The milder emblems of the virtues calm	P2
The poet's verdant bay the sage's palm	P2
These in thy laurel's blooming foliage twine	A2
And round thy brows a deathless wreath combine	A2
Not Mincio's banks nor Meles' classic tide	I2
Are hallow'd more than Avon's haunted side	I2
Nor is thy Thames a less inspiring theme	Z
Than pure Ilissus or than Tiber's stream	Z
	-
Bright in the annals of th' impartial page	Q2
Britannia's heroes live from age to age	Q2
From ancient days when dwelt her savage race	K2
Her painted natives foremost in the chase	K2
Free from all cares for luxury or gain	O
Lords of the wood and monarchs of the plain	O
To these Augustan days when social arts	K2
Refine and meliorate her manly hearts	K2
From doubtful Arthur hero of romance	K2
King of the circled board the spear the lance	K2
To those whose recent trophies grace her shield	F
The gallant victors of Vimiera's field	F
Still have her warriors borne th' unfading crown	R2
And made the British Flag the ensign of renown	R2
	-
Spirit of ALFRED patriot soul sublime	H2
Thou morning star of error's darkest time	H2
Prince of the lion heart whose arm in fight	E
On Syria's plains repell'd Saladin's might	E
EDWARD for bright heroic deeds revered	S2
By Cressy's fame to Britain still endear'd	T2
Triumphant Henry thou whose valour proud	U2
The lofty plume of crested Gallia bow'd	U2
Look down look down exalted Shades and view	V2
Your Albion still to freedom's banner true	V2
Behold the land ennobled by your fame	H
Supreme in glory and of spotless name	H
And as the pyramid indignant rears	K2
Its awful head and mocks the waste of years	K2
See her secure in pride of virtue tower	E2
While prostrate nations kiss the rod of power	E2
	-
Lo where her pennons waving high aspire	F2
Bold victory hovers near 'with eyes of fire '	-
While Lusitania hails with just applause	K2
The brave defenders of her injured cause	K2
Bids the full song the note of triumph rise	K2
And swells th' exulting p an to the skies	K2
	-
And they who late with anguish hard to tell	T
Breathed to their cherish'd realms a sad farewell	T
Who as the vessel bore them o'er the tide	I2
Still fondly linger'd on its deck and sigh'd	I2
Gazed on the shore till tears obscured their sight	E
And the blue distance melted into light	E
The Royal Exiles forced by Gallia's hate	W2
To fly for refuge in a foreign state	W2
They soon returning o'er the western main	O
Ere long may view their clime beloved again	X2
And as the blazing pillar led the host	J2
Of faithful Israel o'er the desert coast	J2
So may Britannia guide the noble band	U
O'er the wild ocean to their native land	U
Oh glorious isle O sovereign of the waves	K2
Thine are the sons who 'never will be slaves '	-
See them once more with ardent hearts advance	K2
And rend the laurels of insulting France	K2
To brave Castile their potent aid supply	Y
And wave oh Freedom wave thy sword on high	Y
	-
Is there no bard of heavenly power posses'd	U
To thrill to rouse to animate the breast	U
Like Shakespeare o'er the secret mind to sway	L
And call each wayward passion to obey	L
Is there no bar	C
