Now we take you to France
And with King Phillipe await
From King Richard and his consort,
A visit of state.
La Maison de Ville is the place
They will meet.
King Phillipe is present,
Those plans to complete.

The bugle tones are heard and sound
A note more thrilling yet;
For King and Queen have now arrived
Within the parapet.

For our own and glorious monarch
Let us rise upon our feet.
King Richard – glad our greeting
As is proper and is meet.

He’s been our valiant leader
For eleven years duration
With pride and love we welcome him
And join his French vacation.

Salute to Berengaria!
No greater charm is known.
Our consort came from far Navarre
To sit upon our throne.

King Phillipe says to Richard
For your visit we’ve prepared
A wondrous kaleidoscope
Of all our treasures rare.

Your royal dukes are worthy
To act as their escort
With your leave I bid them go and fetch
My "Gift of Ageless Art."
