Lyrics

Of old, when heroes thought it base
To be confin’d to native air,
And glory brought a martial race
To breath their tow’ring eagles here,
The sons of fam’d Brigantium stood
Disputing freedom with their blood,
Undaunted at the purple flood.
Brigantium, honour’d with a race divine,
Gave birth to the victorious Constantine,
Whose colony, whilst planted there,
With blooming glories still renew’d the year.
Written by: Henry Purcell, Thomas D'Urfey
