For kindred Power departing from their sight;

While Tweed, best pleased in chanting a blithe strain,

Saddens his voice again and yet again.

Lift up your hearts, ye Mourners! for the might

Of the whole world's good wishes with him goes;

Blessings and prayers, in nobler retinue

Than sceptred king or laurelled conqueror knows,

Follow this wondrous Potentate. Be true

Ye winds of ocean and the midland sea,

Wafting your charge to soft Parthenope!
