Here's a health to the King, who sits on the throne,
And to glorious Prince George, that's Heir to the Crown:
Here's likewise a health to Duke William renown'd,
And to Prussia's great monarch, whose actions are crown'd
With laurels victorious: Ye Britons, now sing
Of their honour and fame, so God save the King.
