34 Lyrics and Legends.
Vanished for the moment quite,
At the sudden sound and sight
Of this heedless happy crew,
Merry monarchs through and through.
What to them the cares that weigh?
'T is the breaking of their day,
When across the morning skies
Only rainbow- hopes arise.
Theirs to be the lot and part
Of bold conquerors at the start;
Every dragon fear and doubt,
Lion-hearted they will rout
