| Shall tell of the deeds that thy children have done | B |
| When the strains of each poet shall sing of their glory | A |
| And the triumphs their skill and their valour have won | B |
| - | |
| When the olive and palm in thy chaplet are blended | C |
| When thy arts and thy fame and thy commerce increase | D |
| When thy arms through the uttermost coasts are extended | C |
| And thy war is triumphant and happy thy peace | D |
| - | |
| When the ocean whose waves like a rampart flow round thee | A |
| Conveying thy mandates to every shore | E |
| And the empire of nature no longer can bound thee | A |
| And the world be the scene of thy conquests no more | E |
| - | |
| Remember the man who in sorrow and danger | F |
| When thy glory was set and thy spirit was low | G |
| When thy hopes were o'erturned by the arms of the stranger | F |
| And thy banners displayed in the halls of the foe | G |
| - | |
| Stood forth in the tempest of doubt and disaster | F |
| Unaided and single the danger to brave | H |
| Asserted thy claims and the rights of his master | F |
| Preserved thee to conquer and saved thee to save | H |
