English poem
Chorus
by Charles Morris (1744–1838)
Britons, revere! with hearts elate, The glorious revolution, That firmly fix’d in church and state, Your heaven-born constitution.
Fair freedom’s temple tyrant James, With scepter’d sway invaded, And conscience with her honest claims, He scouted and degraded; But freedom rous’d, her legions led, And William monarch seated, Then superstition hid her head, And faction was defeated.
