James Thomson - Songs In The Masque Of Alfred: To Alfred
Work rating: Low

First Spirit.
Hear, Alfred, father of the state,
   Thy genius Heaven`s high will declare!
What proves the hero truly great,
   Is never, never to despair:
       Is never to despair.

Second Spirit.
Thy hope awake, thy heart expand,
   With all its vigour, all its fires.
Arise! and save a sinking land!
   Thy country calls, and heaven inspires.

Both Spirits.
Earth calls, and Heaven inspires.
