1Smile, smile,
2Blest Isle!
3Grief past,
4(At last)
5Halcyon
6Comes on.
7New KING,
8Bells ring;
9New Queen,
10Blest Scene!
11Britain
12Again
13Revives,
14And thrives.
15Fear flies,
16Stocks rise;
17Wealth flows,
18Art grows.
19Strange Pack,
20Sent back;
21Own Folks
22Crack Jokes.
23Those out
24May pout;
25Those in
26Will grin.
27Great small,
28Pleas'd all.
29God send
30No End,
31To Line
32Divine,
33Of GEORGE and CAROLINE!
