Bring the bowl which you boast
Language: English
Bring the bowl which you boast, Fill it up to the brim; ’Tis to him we love most, And to all who love him. Brave gallants, stand up, And avaunt ye, base carles! Were there death in the cup, Here’s a health to King Charles. Though he wanders through dangers, Unaided, unknown, Dependent on strangers, Estranged from his own; Though ’tis under our breath, Amidst forfeits and perils, Here’s to honor and faith, And a health to King Charles! Let such honors abound As the time can afford, The knee on the ground, And the hand on the sword; But the time shall come round When, ’mid Lords, Dukes, and Earls, The loud trumpet shall sound, Here’s a health to King Charles!

Kavalierernes sang
Language: Danish (Dansk) after the English
Op, fylder Pokalen til bredfulde Maal; for ham, som vi elske, vi drikke en Skaal. Vor Konge det gjælder, vor Konga saa prud! Om Gift var i Glasset vi tømte det ud! Skjønt ene han vandrer, af Farer omspændt, i fremmede Egne af slet Ingen kjendt, skjønt Tungne os bindes, vort Hjerte dog slaar for Kongen saa længe som Verden bestaar! Men Tiden skal komme da Kongen igjen i Høienloft stander iblandt sine Mænd. Og lydt skal da raabe hver Ridder og Jarl: Et rungende Leve for gjæve Kong Carl!
