Now offer hand and heart,

To frustrate their intention,

And humble Bonaparte.

Our island still was loyal when dangers were at hand,

Uniting in one common cause to guard our native land:

Amongst the rest, the gallant sons of Hexham’s worth record,

Our sea girt isle, for to protect, and peace to have restor’d.

And may each faithful subject

Profess the same intent,

Our lives and properties to guard
