III.Britannia needs no bulwarks,No towers along the steep,Her march is o'er the mountain-waves,Her home is on the deep.With thunders from her native oak,She quells the floods below,—As they roar on the shore,When the stormy winds do blow:When the battle rages loud and long,And the stormy winds do blow.
IV.The meteor flag of EnglandShall yet terrific burn;Till danger's troubled night depart,And the star of peace return.Then, then, ye ocean warriors!Our song and feast shall flowTo the fame of your name,When the storm has ceased to blow;When the fiery fight is heard no more,And the storm has ceased to blow.
