King Arthur, Z. 628: Act V, Scene II, 41. “Saint George, the patron of our Isle” … “Our natives not alone appear” (Honour, chorus)

HONOUR (soprano)
Saint George, the patron of our Isle,
A soldier and a saint,
On this auspicious order smile,
Which love and arms will plant.

CHORUS
Our natives not alone appear
To court the martial prize;
But foreign kings adopted here
Their crowns at home despise.
Our Sov'reign high, 'in awful state,
His honours shall bestow;
and see his sceptred subjects wait
On his commands below.
