On the RETURN of
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS
# The Duke of CUMBERLAND,
After suppressing the REBELLION.

Performed at VAUX-HALL GARDENS, and set to Music
by Mr. ARNE.

I.

ALL hail BRITANNIA! fav'rite Isle!
Thy Sons reviv'd, again shall I smile;
For WILLIAM has fectur'd to Thee,
Fair Peace and heav'n-born Liberty.

II.

No hateful Scenes of Slaughter more
Shall fright thy fertile envied Shore:
Thy Warrior's Sword has quell'd thy Foes,
Revang'd thy Wrongs, and heal'd thy Woes.

III.

HE drove th' impending Cloud away,
And, like the Sun, reftor'd the Day.
To WILLIAM BRITAIN gave her Cauſe,
Who greatly fav'd her dying Laws.

IV.

Ye FAIR, refound your Hero's Name,
Who toil'd for You, and ALBION's Fame;
Prepare the Wreath, the Victor's Due,
To grace the YOUTH, who fought for You.

V.

The Shepherd, in the flow'ry Vale,
Lays down his Pipe, to tell the Tale;
Then soon amid the rural Throng,
Begins in WILLIAM's Praife the Song.

VI.

The Parent oft shall tell the Son
What early Honours WILLIAM won;
The Son, infpir'd with noble Pride,
Shall wifh he'd bled by WILLIAM's Side.

VII.

Our HERO comes, the Child of Fame,
Fresh Glories blooming round his Name;
Ye grateful and harmonious Quire,
Raife ev'ry Voice, and wake the Lyre.

VIII.

Rebellion finks in Shades of Night,
And smiling Freedom hails the Light;
To Pleasure let us give the Day,
And from our Hearts drive Care away.
