We've got the beat clime On this side the tine; Our lands are both fertile and strong; We've corn, wine r and oil. Which take a good soil To ripen; and bring W along. We've pedigreed stocks. And finer sheep flocks Can b© seen nowhere eta© on the earth. Kama, horses, and bulls, And long-stapled wools Our pastures sustain and give birth. We grow bone and muscle, To stand a good tuaael; WeVe licked '* All England " at cricket; How well) we can row 'Twer© needless to* show Since Britain knocked under to Trickett. We're prottd of our birth, We're proud of our earth, We're proud of our ewes and our rams, We're proud of our mines, We're proud of our vines, And we're .proud to be aught else but •hama. Now, Anb'ny Trottope, Say we can wallop The whole ot' creation- at blowing ; But feafco back your sneer My word, now f took here 1 D'ye think it's tor nothing we're crowing I CoR-St Cob-(in JiMimlKa««.).
