Aug. and Tham. The royal squadron marches,
Erect triumphal arches,
For Albion and Albanius;
Rejoice at their returning,
The passages adorning:
The royal squadron marches,
Erect triumphal arches
For Albion and Albanius.
Part of the Scene disappears, and the Four Triumphal arches, erected on his Majesty's Coronation, are seen.
Albion appears, Albanius by his Side, preceded by Archon, followed by a Train, &c.
Full Chorus. Hail, royal Albion, Hail!
Aug. Hail, royal Albion, hail to thee,
Thy longing people's expectation!
Tham. Sent from the gods to set us free
From bondage and from usurpation!
Aug. To pardon and to pity me,
And to forgive a guilty nation!
Tham. Behold the differing Climes agree,
Rejoicing in thy restoration.
Entry. Representing the Four Parts of the World, rejoicing at the Restoration of Albion.
