Rh Fam'd for Victorious Arms and Generous Aid, Young Austrias Refuge, and fierce Bourbons Dread: Titanian Leagues in vain shall brave the Rhine, When to the Eagle YOU the Thunder join.

Wake bright Hamilton, arise,
 * Goddess of Love, and of the Day,
 * Awake, disclose thy charming Eyes,
 * And show the Sun a brighter Ray:

Phœbus in vain calls forth the blushing Morn, He but creates the Day, which you adorn.


 * The Lark, that wont with warbling Throat
 * Early to salute the Skies,
 * Or sleeps, or else suspends his Note,
 * Disclaiming Day 'till you arise.
 * Goddess awake, thy Beams display,
 * Restore the Universe to Light,
 * When Hamilton appears then dawns the Day,
 * And when she disappears, begins the Night.


 * Lovers, who watchful vigils keep,
 * (For Lovers never, never sleep!)
