The following is the two last Stanzas of the Order for his Majesty's Birth-Day as it was performed before his Majesty on the 4th of June last.
Loveliest of months! bright June again
Thy season smiles. With thee return
The frolic band of pleasure's train,
With Britannia's festal morn,
When the glad land her homage pays
To George, her monarch and her friend.
May cheerful health, may length of day
And smiling peace his steps attend
May every good! Cease, cease the train
The prayer were impotent and vain
What greater good can man possess
Than he, to whom all bounteous Heaven,
With unremitting hand, has given
The power and will to bless?
Loveliest of months! bright June again
Thy season smiles. With thee return
The frolic band of pleasure's train,
With Britannia's festal morn,
When the glad land her homage pays
To George, her monarch and her friend.
May cheerful health, may length of day
And smiling peace his steps attend
May every good! Cease, cease the train
The prayer were impotent and vain
What greater good can man possess
Than he, to whom all bounteous Heaven,
With unremitting hand, has given
The power and will to bless?
