¶Lyrics / Text

Go, feeble tyrant, and in vain Thy fruitless conquest boast; The slave who once has felt thy chain Enjoys his triumph most. Exert, alas, thy harmless hate, Thy frowns and cold disdain; Since double pleasure they create, To think them spent in vain. The sailor thus of danger free From the securer shore Looks back with joy, and laughs to see The storms he felt before.
