SONS OF BRITAIN.
Sons of Britain! Up and forward. Fight as once your fathers fought On the bloody field of Crecy. and the plains of Agincourt. ,Goa be praised! no foe can enter our fair island of the free, Guarded by tho soul of Nelson and the inviolablo sea. Through a mist of tears and anguish, while her blood is shed like rniri, Tortured Belgium looks for succour, and she shall not look in vain. They have blazed a track to follow, trace the lino of their advance, Through the flaming halls of Louvain mid the mined fields of France. Hohenzollorn, world-destroyer, and your boastful "lords of war," Let them echo down the ages, names accursed for evermore, While th' uplifted sword of Justice,' with irrevocable doom, Damns the fated house of Hapsburg to the same unhonoured tomb. Gorman faith and German honour 1 what their worth is now we know; Sons of Britain, born to freedom, up and on to meet the foe. U.F. ■ Wellington, Now Zealand.
