AIR. (Long on this isle, the solar ray)

Long on this isle, the solar ray, Benignant eye of favouring Heaven, Shall beam, to consecrate the day, That saw a Brunswick to a Brunswick given. Swell every voice, beat every heart, All in the general bliss bear part; While the loud trumpet's notes proclaim Fate's fiat, by the mouth of Fame.

"In other states, while rule and power "That strut the pageant of an hour, "Treason destroys, and time absorbs, "Like circling planets in their orbs: "Here shall a happy people's joys "Revolve in one just equipoise, "While time and virtue shall endure, "Their honour safe, their rights secure. "Confirmed to this blest race alone, "England's hereditary throne."
