Ode for his Majesty's birth-day, written by William
Whitehead, Esq; Poet Laureat, and set to music by Dr. Boyce,
Master of his Majesty's Band of Musicians, performed, June
4, 1776, before their Majesties and the royal family.
Ye western gales, whose genial breath,
Unbinds the glebe, 'till all beneath,
One verdant livery wears;
You sooth the sultry heats of noon,
Add softness to the setting sun,
And dry the morning's tears.
