Strictures On Public Amusements.
Hail , happy Britain , favour'd isle I Where Freedom , Arts , and Commerce smile , Long may thy George in glory prove The transports of a nation's love ! Long reign to guard the blest decree , That "Britons ever shall be free . " SONG . Mr . SEDGWICK .
BY THE EARL OF MULGRAVE . Our line was form'd , the French lay to , One sigh I gave to Foil on shore , Too cold I thought our last adieu—Our parting kisses seem'd too few ,. If we should meet no more . But loveavast 1 my heart is oak
, , Howe's daring signal floats on high ; I see through roaring cannons' smoke Their awful line subdu'd and broke , They strike ! they sink ! they fly ! ¦ CHORUS . Now ( danger past ) we'll drink and joke—Rule Britannia
Sing , " ; Heart ' s of Oak ;" And toast before each martial tune"Howe , and the Glorious First of June . " My limb struck off , let soothing art The chance of war to Poll explain ; Proud of the loss , I feel no smart , But as it wrings my Poll's heart
y With sympathetic pain . Yet she will think ( with love so tried ) Each scar a beauty in my face , And as I strut with martial pride , On timber toe by Polly ' s side , Will call my limp a grace .
CHORUS . At dangers past we'll laugh , & c . Farewell to ev'ry sea delight , The cruize with eager watchful days , The skilful chace by glimm'ring night , The well-work'd ship , the gallant fight , The lovd commander
' praise ; Yet Polly's love and constancy , With prattling babes more jov shall bring , Proud when my boys shall first at sea Follow great Howe to victory , And serve our noble King . CHORUS .
Then ( danger past ) we'll drink and jo ' fce- — Sing , " ' Rule Britannia ; Kr-arts of Oak ;" And toast before each martial tune" Howe , and the Glorious First of June . "
