Affluence<br />
There’s nothing like wealth<br />

We adore wealth<br />
Dependable lamps of affluence<br />
Dispel enmity’s darkness<br />
Wealth won with integrity<br />
Yields felicitous virtue<br />

When wealth’s weapon won<br />
Enemy arrogance evaporates<br />
From riches honestly acquired<br />
Virtuous pleasures spring<br />

Proper armies stand united<br />
Facing death’s fury<br />
Courage, loyalty, honour, tradition<br />
Safe‐guard royal armies<br />

Before counter‐attacking storm<br />
Pathetic armies win renown<br />

Independence, wealth, respect<br />
Gigantic battalions swiftly reduced<br />
Without competent generalry
