A match in valour for a mightier throng.
And when the rightful Lord of heaven and earth
Is recognized as such on every hand,
He, who shall then be stablished and set forth
As God's viceregent over every land,
Will on thy kings bestow a style of worth
As fitting to their zeal as it is grand;
They all shall bear of Catholic the name,
In true succession to the Goths of fame.
But he, whose hand of vigour best shall bind
