To enlarge my Empire, which will soon be yours:

Your Interest, Glory, Grandeur, I consult,

And therefore hope with Vigour you'll pursue

And execute whatever I command.

When we refuse Obedience to your Will,

We are not worthy to be call'd your Sons.

Philip.

If we inherit not our Father's Valour,

We never can deserve to share his Empire.

Tenesco.

Spoke like yourselves, the Sons of Ponteach;

Strength, Courage, and Obedience form the Soldier,

And the firm Base of all true Greatness lay.

Ponteach.

Ponteach.

Our Empire now is large, our Forces strong,
