The Army-standard is placed in the Flotver-pavilion ; 



It follows our lord and chief when he goes to fight the Tartars. 



When the victorious army has returned, 



We wiii build our camps and, surely, have a universal peace.

The Army-standard is planted in the rniddle; 



It's majesty terrines the Chinese and barbarians — let us kill the Tsing! 



The commands are severe and plain, and the army is tremblingly alive to thera; 



We will for ever settle the Middle Kingdom, and enjoy universal peace.
