When for a passing hour Rome's manly

Forum, and field, and senate, and house

With cries of nor misgiving nor lament
Only of men contending then who should
Purchase the spot on which the victor

Legion on legion sprang up from the

Cleaned through the land then over
Till Scipio's eagles swarmed on Afric's

And Carthage persisted to insult no more
Not less resolved than Rome now England
stands
Facing foul fortune with unfaltering
hands.
Through her vast realms is neither fear
nor feud,
But, calm in strength, and steeled in for

She fills the gaps of death with eager

That will nor lag nor haggle in the strife
Till having backward rolled the lawleSs

Her flag hath brought inflexible as fate
