Lyrics: John Hoadly
Music: Maurice Greene
"I vow’d, before I fought the War,
If Heav’n with Conquest paid my Care,
I vow’d (yet oh! how wilt thou bear
Death from a Father’s Tongue to hear?)
What Virgin from my House first met my Eye,
(Oh! how can I relate
A Daughter’s Fate!)
What Virgin from my House first met my Eye,
Shou’d to Heav’n devoted die."
