This small isle wide-realm'd monarchs eye with awe!

Which says to their ambition's foaming waves,

"Thus far, nor farther!"—Let her hold, in life,

Nought dear disjoin'd from freedom and renown;

Renown, our ancestors' great legacy,

To be transmitted to their latest sons.

By thoughts inglorious, and un-British deeds,

Their cancel'd will is impiously profan'd.

Inhumanly disturb'd their sacred dust.

Their sacred dust with recent laurels crown,
