May we never cease to deserve well of country.

May Britons ever defend, with bold unflinching hand, Their throne, their altar, and their native land.

May the heart of an Englishman ever be Liberty Hall.

May the brow of the brave be adorned by the hand of beauty.

May we never find danger lurking on the borders of security.

May the laurels of Great Britain never be blighted.

May all mankind make free to enjoy the blessings of liberty, but never take the liberty to subvert the principles of freedom.

May Britannia's hand ever be armed with the bolts of Jove.

May the ensign of loyalty float over us--the jack of pure patriotism lead us--and may the pendant of every British man-of-war serve as a cat-o-nine-tails to whip our enemies with.

May England's name and England's fame stand for ever pure, great and free.

May every true Briton be possessed of peace, plenty, and content.

May every Briton leave his native land at honour's call, To fight, to conquer, or, like Wolfe, to fall.

May every Briton act the patriot's part.

May victory spin the robe of glory for the brave, and fame enrol his deeds.

May the laws never be misconstrued.

May the weight of our taxes never bend the back of our credit.

May increasing success crown the island of traders, And its shores prove the grave of all foreign invaders.
