A KOBLE dame, her rights to claim, 

 Is come, a Radcliffe's dauntless daughter; 



Of glorious name and spotless fame,

CHORUS ; 



Over the brave may the proud flag wave, 

 Over the Countess proudly wave. 



In Dilston's fair and lordly halls, 



Earl Derwentwater dwelt in splendour ; 



And his Lady bright, with her dauntless Knight 

 And gallant hearts for to defend her . 



Till the cry of war came from afar, 

 By the exil'd Stuart proclaimed fairly ; 



To claim his own the British Crown 

 The Eoyal Prince they lov'd so dearly.
