History & Politics
A crowned king
From An Island in the Moon (c. 1784)
History & Politics
A crowned king,
On a white horse sitting,
With his trumpets sounding,
And Banners flying;
Thro' the clouds of smoke he makes his way,
And the shout of his thousands fills his heart with rejoicing & victory.
And the shout of his thousands fills his heart with rejoicing & victory.
Victory! Victory! 'twas William the prince of Orange.
