    freedom, and the birthplace of heroes.

    Britain’s annals:  may they never suffer a moral or political
    blot.

    Confusion to those who barter the cause of their country for
    sordid gain.

    it off and desert the cause of liberty in the hour of trial.

    Confusion to those despots who combine against the liberties
    of mankind.

    and pensions on the ruin of their country.

    Everlasting life to the man who gave the death-blow to the
    slave trade.

    Community, unity, navigation, and trade.

    Faith in every kind of commerce.

    May the meanest Briton scorn the highest slave.

    Old England:  and may those who ill-use her be speedily kicked
    off.

    May Great Britain and Ireland be ever equally distinguished by
    their love of liberty and true patriotism.

    May every succeeding century maintain the principles of the
    glorious Revolution, enjoy the blessings of them, and transmit
    them to future ages unimpaired and improved.

    May the whole universe be incorporated in one city, and every
    inhabitant presented with the freedom.

    May Britons share the triumphs of freedom, and ever contend
    for the rights and liberties of mankind.

    May freedom’s fire take new birth at the grave of liberty.

    May our country be, as it has ever been, a secure asylum to
    the unfortunate and oppressed.

    High wages, and sense to keep them.

    May the freedom of election be preserved, the trial by jury
    maintained, and the liberty of the press secured to the latest
    posterity.

    May the tree of liberty flourish round the globe, and every
    human being partake of the fruits.

    May truth and liberty prevail throughout the world.

    May all partial and impolitic taxes be abolished.

    May Britons never have a tyrant to oppose either in Church or
    State.
