But when his brother's daughter succeeded to this land

She made a better ruler than any queen or king

And to VICTORIA, great VICTORIA, loudest praises ring.

She ruled o'er England's empire for years full sixty-four,

And her great crown with queenly grace and kindliness she wore.

Her son, King Edward Seventh, the ever tactful king,

Ruled for a few short seasons until by Death's cruel sting

His happy reign was ended and George the Fifth, his heir,

Was made the kingly ruler of England's lands so fair.
