This proud embodied Unity!
For Britain and our Queen one voice we raise,
Laud them, rejoice, peal forth, worthy are they of praise!
The Inaugural Ode as it Ought to have Been.
(With Apologies to Mr. Lewis Morris.)
With partial pomp and sounding bands of brass,
And Royalties—both first and second class—,
To-day the Queen, in semi-state,
Consents a project to befriend
Which for so long seemed doomed to end
