See where he comes! What princely port he bears!

How God-like he appears!

His shining temples round

90With wreaths of everlasting laurels bound!

As from the bloody field of Mons he came,

Where he outfought th' hyperboles of Fame.

See how the Guardian-Angel of our isle

Receives the deifi'd champion with a smile!

Welcome, the Guardian-Angel says,

Full of songs of joy and praise,
