Language: English
Love's pow'r in my heart shall find no compliance, I'll stand to my guard, and bid open defiance; To arms, I will muster my reason and senses, Tararara, tararara, a war now commences. Keep a strict watch, and observe ev'ry motion, Your care to his cunning exactly proportion; Fall on, he gives ground, let him never recover, Victoria! Victoria! the battle is over!
