1.
OH ! blow the loud Trumpet of Wellington’s fame,
Let the blast echo far as the Earth’s widest bounds;
For the sound of his glory, the praise of his name,
On the wild winds is borne, and old Ocean resounds!
2.
Let England, with pride, o’er her Hero rejoice,
And crown him with honours immortally bright;
Let the Bard wake the strain, and the minstrel his voice
And the nations all join in the Song of delight.
3.
Let the heart of the Briton with rapture beat high,
That his Country has given a Wellington birth;
Let the glow of the Patriot beam in his eye,
As he hails that lov’d Country the Queen of the Earth!
4.
Oh! waft it, ye winds, thro’ the Universe wide,
Bear England’s and Wellington’s name on your wings,
Resound with his triumphs, thou turbulent tide,
Till, round the Globe echoed, the wild music rings!
5.
Let the battles of Blenheim and Ramillies now,
To Wellington’s Victories yield up the palm,
Let garlands immortal encircle his brow,
And the hearts of the British his mem’ry embalm!
6.
To peruse the proud Annals of Warrior’s fame,
We need not to backward Antiquity roam,
A Wellington equals a Scipio’s fame,
And England is now the great rival of Rome.
