The artist that preserves our Holland for us

Shall be much honoured in our Southern home.

So, bearing with us all that can be moved,

We will weigh anchor to the sound of psalms, 45

And winds from heaven shall waft us to the west,

Between the shores of tyranny on the left,

And the pale cliffs of falsehood on the right;

While looking towards the north, our captains tell

To wondering maidens and exulting boys, 50

How through the helpless Medway’s mouth they sailed,
