Wise Solomon, a stranger to the sword,

Was born to raise a temple to the Lord.

Anne too shall build, and every sacred pile

Speak peace eternal to Britannia's isle.

Those mighty souls, whom military care

Diverted from their only great affair,

Shall bend their full united force, to bless

Th' Almighty Author of their late success.

And what is all the world subdued to this?

The grave sets bounds to sublunary bliss;
