Sung at Table by the same Choir SEE these happy youths, now made Bulwarks of our wealth and trade. From this glorious source will flow Vigorous strength, to quell each foe. May such noble plans sustain GEORGE's empire on the main! May rich Commerce, England's pride, Still adorn her swelling tide! While ye guardians of our isle, Favoured by his gracious smile, Band of patriot-brothers, tie The knot of social amity; Virtue hails the great design, She owns the impulse quite divine; Bids her patriot King approve The golden band of Social Love! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BETWEEN THE WARS by ROBERT HASS THE GOLDEN SHOVEL by TERRANCE HAYES ALONG WITH YOUTH by ERNEST HEMINGWAY THE BLACK RIVIERA by MARK JARMAN ODES SUNG IN COMMEMORATION OF THE MARINE SOCIETY: 1 by ANNE (HUGHES) PENNY |
