On his Majestys happy Delievernce
Composed by Mr Jere: Clark:
Sympho:
Now Albion raise thy drooping head
Thy joys begin to live they fears are dead
And all thy threat’ning danger fled
Now Albion raise thy drooping head
For all thy threat’ning dangers fled
Our Caesar lives and all around
thy universall triumphs sound
And all our Brittish shores rebound
Thy sacred life to heavn so dear
Tunes a new paen there
Ador’d below and lov’d above
Our Caesar, our heroe,
Our Caesar, Heroe, Mars and Jove
Great William lives the smileing morne
does with new beams the day adorn
An universal joy goes round
The seas they dance and the rocks rebound
Cho
Great [William] lives
Then evry loyall heart rejoyce and sing
The praises of so great and good a King
