   O loyal to the royal in thyself,
  And loyal to thy land, as this to thee—
  Bear witness, that rememberable day,
  When, pale as yet, and fever-worn, the Prince
  Who scarce had plucked his flickering1 life again
  From halfway2 down the shadow of the grave,
  Past with thee through thy people and their love,
  And London rolled one tide of joy through all
  Her trebled millions, and loud leagues of man
  And welcome! witness, too, the silent cry,
  The prayer of many a race and creed3, and clime—
  Thunderless lightnings striking under sea
  From sunset and sunrise of all thy realm,
  And that true North, whereof we lately heard
  A strain to shame us “keep you to yourselves;
  So loyal is too costly4! friends—your love
  Is but a burthen:  loose the bond, and go.”
  Is this the tone of empire? here the faith
  That made us rulers? this, indeed, her voice
  And meaning, whom the roar of Hougoumont
  Left mightiest5 of all peoples under heaven?
  What shock has fooled her since, that she should speak
  So feebly? wealthier—wealthier—hour by hour!
  The voice of Britain, or a sinking land,
  Some third-rate isle6 half-lost among her seas?
  There rang her voice, when the full city pealed7
  Thee and thy Prince!  The loyal to their crown
  Are loyal to their own far sons, who love
  Our ocean-empire with her boundless8 homes
