     (VIVE LE ROI)

Swearing death to tyrant King,
	Heaven guards the patriot heart; 
Join’d in hand and heart we’ll sing,
	Vive la Charte, vive la Charte! 

Ruin seize the tyrant knave,
	Can slavery or woe impart 
Aught of pleasures to the brave,
	Vive la Charte, Vive la Charte! 

Bear our conquering standard high,
	Terror strikes each miscreant heart; 
Onward! still our battle cry,
	Vive la Charte, Vive la Charte! 

Raise the brand of liberty,
	Dare the foe, brave the smart; 
Swell the chorus loud and high,
	Vive la Charte, Vive la Charte!
