When long sequester'd from his throne	A
George took his seat again	B
By right of worth not blood alone	A
Entitled here to reign	C
	-
	-
Then loyalty with all his lamps	D
New trimm'd a gallant show	E
Chasing the darkness and the damps	D
Set London in a glow	E
	-
	-
'Twas hard to tell of streets or squares	F
Which form'd the chief display	G
These most resembling cluster'd stars	H
Those the long milky way	G
	-
	-
Bright shone the roofs the domes the spires	I
And rockets flew self driven	J
To hang their momentary fires	K
Amid the vault of heaven	J
	-
	-
So fire with water to compare	L
The ocean serves on high	M
Up spouted by a whale in air	L
To express unwieldy joy	N
	-
	-
Had all the pageants of the world	O
In one procession join'd	P
And all the banners been unfurl'd	O
That heralds e'er design'd	Q
	-
	-
For no such sight had England's queen	R
Forsaken her retreat	S
Where George recover'd made a scene	R
Sweet always doubly sweet	S
	-
	-
Yet glad she came that night to prove	T
A witness undescried	S
How much the object of her love	U
Was loved by all beside	S
	-
	-
Darkness the skies had mantled o'er	V
In aid of her design	W
Darkness O Queen ne'er called before	X
To veil a deed of thine	W
	-
	-
On borrow'd wheels away she flies	Y
Resolved to be unknown	A
And gratify no curious eyes	Y
That night except her own	A
	-
	-
Arrived a night like noon she sees	Z
And hears the million hum	A2
As all by instinct like the bees	Z
Had known their sovereign come	A2
	-
	-
Pleased she beheld aloft portray'd	S
On many a splendid wall	B2
Emblems of health and heavenly aid	S
And George the theme of all	B2
	-
	-
Unlike the enigmatic line	W
So difficult to spell	C2
Which shook Belshazzar at his wine	W
The night his city fell	C2
	-
	-
Soon watery grew her eyes and dim	D2
But with a joyful tear	L
None else except in prayer for him	D2
George ever drew from her	V
	-
	-
It was a scene in every part	S
Like those in fable feign'd	S
And seem'd by some magician's art	S
Created and sustain'd	S
	-
	-
But other magic there she knew	E2
Had been exerted none	J
To raise such wonders in her view	E2
Save love of George alone	A
	-
	-
That cordial thought her spirit cheer'd	S
And through the cumbrous throng	F2
Not else unworthy to be fear'd	S
Convey'd her calm along	F2
	-
	-
So ancient poets say serene	R
The sea maid rides the waves	G2
And fearless of the billowy scene	R
Her peaceful bosom laves	G2
	-
	-
With more than astronomic eyes	G2
She view'd the sparkling show	E
One Georgian star adorns the skies	G2
She myriads found below	E
	-
	-
Yet let the glories of a night	S
Like that once seen suffice	G2
Heaven grant us no such future sight	S
Such previous woe the price	G2
