Excerpt from The Royal Marriage Ode: For the Nuptials of H. R. H. The Duke of York With the Princess May of Teck, July 6th, 1893 Ring out the joy-bells on 'the quickening air, And let allegiance wait on ecstacy' The world's in tune, to-day, with our desire, And mirth and music make the morning fair.
