Mr. Freeman.

GEnius of England, from thy pleasant Bow'r of bliss,
    Arise and spread thy sacred Wings;
    Guard, guard from Foes the Brittish State,
    Thou on whose smiles does wait,
Th' uncertain happy Fate of Monarchies and Kings.


Mrs. Cibber.

Then follow brave Boys, then follow brave Boys to the Wars,
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow, follow, follow brave Boys to the Wars,
Follow, follow, follow brave Boys to the Wars;
    The Lawrel you know's the Prize,
    The Lawrel you know's the Prize:
Who brings home the Noblest, the noblest,
The noblest Scars looks finest in Celia's Eyes;
    Then shake off the Slothful ease,
Let Glory, let Glory, let Glory inspire your Hearts;
    Remember a Soldier in War and in Peace,
Remember a Soldier in War, in War and in Peace,
    Is the noblest of all other Arts:
    Remember a Soldier in War and in Peace,
Remember a Soldier in War, in War and in Peace,
    Is the noblest of all other Arts.
