Who now intrepid lift the generous blade,

The cause of Justice and Castile to aid!

Ye sons of Albion! by your country’s name,

Her crown of glory, her unsullied fame;

Oh! by the shades of Cressy’s martial dead,

By warrior-bands at Agincourt who bled;

By honours gain’d on Blenheim’s fatal plain,

By those in Victory’s arms at Minden slain;

By the bright laurels Wolfe immortal won,

Undaunted spirit! valour’s favourite son!
