| Swift from his Grasp thy golden Hair | A |
| and sought'st thy native Skies | B |
| When War by Vultures drawn from far | C |
| To Britain bent his Iron Car | C |
| And bad his Storms arise | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| Tir'd of his rude tyrannic Sway | D |
| Our Youth shall fix some festive Day | D |
| His sullen Shrines to burn | E |
| But Thou who hear'st the turning Spheres | F |
| What Sounds may charm thy partial Ears | F |
| And gain thy blest Return | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| O Peace thy injur'd Robes up bind | G |
| O rise and leave not one behind | G |
| Of all thy beamy Train | H |
| The British Lion Goddess sweet | I |
| Lies stretch'd on Earth to kiss thy Feet | I |
| And own thy holier Reign | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| Let others court thy transient Smile | J |
| But come to grace thy western Isle | J |
| By warlike Honour led | K |
| And while around her Ports rejoice | L |
| While all her Sons adore thy Choice | L |
| With Him for ever wed | K |
