From a Parliament chosen only by one-tenth of the taxpayers; from taxes raised to pay wholesale human butchers their subsidies; from the false doctrines, heresy, and schism, which have obscured our once-glorious constitution; from conspiracies against the liberty of the people; and from obstacles thrown in the way of the exertion of our natural and constitutional rights,
Good Prince, deliver us.
By your feelings as men; by your interests as members of civil society; by your duty as Christians,
O Rulers, deliver us.
By the deprivation of millions—by the sighs of the widow—by the tears of the orphan—by the groans of the aged in distress—by the wants of all classes in the community, except your own and your dependents,
O Rulers, deliver us.
In this time of tribulation—in this time of want of labour to thousands, and of unrequited labour to tens of thousands—in this time of sudden death from want of food,
O Rulers, deliver us.
We people do beseech ye to hear us, O Rulers; and that it may please ye to rule and govern us constitutionally in the right way;
We beseech ye to hear us, O Rulers.
