Translation of the Ode written by the King of Prussia,
immediately after the victory gained, over the combined
armies of France and the Empire, at Rosbach; which was set
to music, and performed in the Queen of Prussia's apartment
at Berlin, the fifth of last month.
I.
Oh thou on whom the nations call,
Father, and Lord of all,
Uncreated, undefin'd,
Whom the rude Indian worships in the wind:
By whatsoever name thou ould'st be term'd.
Immaculate ! Supreme !
Omniscient, infinite, eternal mind !
In thankful gratitude before thy throne I fall.
. . . [in all, 4 eight-line verses.]
