No. 17: RECIT. (King) & UNACCOMPANIED CHORUS
"This ceremonial our wish displays...
Eagle high"
| King. |
This ceremonial our wish displays
To copy all Great Britain's courtly ways.
Though lofty aims catastrophe entail,
We'll gloriously succeed or nobly fail! |
UNACCOMPANIED CHORUS
| All. |
Eagle High in Cloudland soaring —
Sparrow twittering on a reed —
Tiger in the jungle roaring —
Frightened fawn in grassy mead —
Let the eagle, not the sparrow,
Be the object of your arrow —
Fix the tiger with your eye —
Pass the fawn in pity by.
Glory, glory,
Glory then will crown the day —
Glory, glory, anyway!
Glory, anyway!
Glory, anyway!
Glory then will crown the day —
Crown the day —
Glory then will crown the day —
Crown the day —
Crown the day —
Glory then will crown the day —
Crown the day —
Crown the day —
Glory, glory then will crown the day! |
Exit all.
