ODE FOR HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY, 1736.
By Colley Cibber, Eqr; Poet-Laureat.
Set to musick by Dr. Green.
AIR.
Come lovely Virgin, fair ey'd peace,
With all thy honest jovial throng,
Loud laughing mirth and smiling ease,
Assist the muse and raise the song:
[2]
Sing! sing! to George his natal day,
Great George, who makes mankind his care,
While tripping swains shall grace the lay,
And dance upon the grave of war.
. . . [1 column more, airs, recitativos, chorus]
