HIS MAJESTY EDWARD VII.
M oil arch of many a distant elime, Descended from illustrious sires, Offspring of her, whose life sublime To glorious deeds thy zeal inspires. Proud ruler of a stalwart race, Whose sons have conquered far and near, Till the round world their arms embrace. The wrong to right, the weak to cheer. We pray for thee, thou son of kings, Our rightful Prince beyond the sea., That while through space the mean rings, Thy mother’s name thy watchword be. Upon Elisha’s shoulders may The mantle of Elijah fall. Maintain thine own Imperial sway. In truth and righteousness to all. So shall our sons, in hour of need. Around thee throng, with glad acclaim. From distant iS&es, with hurrying speed. True to the influence of thy name. Then, should the day of conflict lower Or plots against thy tfirone be hurled* We’ll scorn the foe’s united power, And bid defiance to the world. And thus we pray, God Save the Eungv Endow him with abundant grace. Peace her trancendent blessings bring, Which time and tide shall ne’er efface. JOHN YOUNG. Wellington, February 4th. 1301.
