Here these long-|usurp|ed roy|alties,

Inter | their bod|ies, as | become | their births,

Proclaim | a pard|on to | the sol|diers fled,

Smile heav/en u|pon this | fair con|junction,

What trait|or hears | me, and | says^not | amen?

England | hath long | been mad,| and scarred |
herself;

The broth|er blind|ly shed | the broth|er's
blood;

Enrich | the time | to come,| with smooth-faced
peace,
, ,

With smil|ing plen|ty, and / fair pros|perous
days.

, ,
,
Abate | the edge | of trait|ors, gra|cious Lord,
,
, , ,
,
That would | reduce | these bloo|dy days | again,
,
, ,
, ,
And make | poor^Eng|land weep | in streams | of
blood;
, ,
, ,
,
Let^them | not^live | to taste | this land's |
increase,
, ,
, ,
,
That would | with treas|on, wound | this fair |
land's^peace.

T T . T
Now civ|il wounds | are stopped,| peace lives again;
, ,
, ,
,
That she | may long | live^here,| God* say,|
amen.
