Walter Scott - Here`s a Health to King CharlesWalter Scott - Here`s a Health to King Charles
Work rating: Low


Bring the bowl which you boast,    Fill it up to the brim;   `Tis to him we love most,    And to all who love him.   Brave gallants, stand up,    And avaunt ye, base carles!   Were there death in the cup,    Here?s a health to King Charles.     Though he wanders through dangers,    Unaided, unknown,   Dependent on strangers,    Estranged from his own;   Though `tis under our breath,    Amidst forfeits and perils,   Here`s to honor and faith,    And a health to King Charles!     Let such honors abound    As the time can afford,   The knee on the ground,    And the hand on the sword;   But the time shall come round    When, `mid Lords, Dukes, and Earls,   The loud trumpet shall sound,    Here`s a health to King Charles!
