"THE ENGLISH"
The Sires of ancient Briton, On shingle couches lay With naught to wear but painted skins They were exempt from sumptuous sins: Their fare was fish and flesh and fowl Their habitude where wolves did prowl, Beside, the forest springs. For ever fighting for a living They were always taking or giving Rude compliments, with club or stone • Defeat they ne'er were known to own. Such Sires begat a virile race 1 hat spread o'er all the wide world's face, lo have and hold an abiding place. Held by the dear old mother tongue Jo love the land from which they sprung. Britons over all the earth, Must hold fast to the sovereign Avorth Of the freedom they've been fighting for—Freedom from want and I'e.ar of Avar. When agression's cruel fangs arc drawn, Anil the light for Peace is really won J he Clod of Battles in the end Will cause I-lis blessing to descend Upon the victors in the strife , For what is dearer far than life. H. SERGANT.
