Hilaria. The Festive Board

by Unknown

May with envy envenom’d decry;

Yet, such poisonous darts of detraction’s foul aim,

Both his courage and virtue defy.

Vive le Roi, &c.

Each heart then, enliven’d by loyalty’s cause,

Push the soul-stirring wine swiftly round;

Exclaim in a volley of joy and applause,

For the nation re-echoes the sound.

Vive le Roi, &c.
