NOT TO BE SOLD. [bunch."] Do the Germans expect to have Heligoland Any sum to be named by outforking ; Which would be they may fancy we don't understand, Their first step to the Battle of Dorking ? What's the next place our friends will invite us to sell, In resolve (o keep that if vvc falter? Very likely they'll want to buy Malta as well; Having bought it, to purchase Gibraltar. The best fleet they can they've a right to create; We have none to withstand their endeavor. But to help thein become a great maritime State Were magnanimous rather than clever. Though tp ruje the waves we may bdieye they aspire, If their navy grow great, we must let it; But if one Britisii Island they think to acquire, Bless their hearts don't they wish they may get it ? iw—— ip—i—w— ■ uni ■in MM——a ■ihm wwanamaMawwaw n~i
