Z 628 King Arthur V, 42 "Saint George, the patron of our isle". [Italian translation]

HONOUR

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.
