Classic Poem

Sung by Mr. Hulett in " Britannia "

Brave grenadiers, rejoice
With gladsome heart and voice;
For fair Britannia's choice
Your martial sports prepare.
Let silver trumpets sound,
Let brazen drums rebound,
While shouts of joy fly round
To hail the happy pair.

Forgot are war's alarms
Within the fair one's arms,
For Venus' powerful charms
Can mighty Mars subdue.
May all the gods above
Reward their constant love,
And may they ever prove
Still happy as they're true.
