See the conqu'ring hero comes!
 Sound the trumpets, beat the drums!
 See the godlike youth advance!
 Sports prepare, the laurel bring!
 Songs of triumph, to him sing!
 See the conqu'ring hero comes!
 Sound the trumpets, beat the drums!
 Myrtle wreaths and roses twine
 (to) deck the hero's brow divine!
 See the conqu'ring hero comes!
 Sound the trumpets, beat the drums!
