AYE. READY!
Did you sec the German warship-; Sneaking up the .Jutland coast — Ships that Kaiser William worships. Men who are hi.s pride and lioat>t Y Biatty's keen eyes saw them steaming Nearer, nearer, into sight; Beatty's sailors' eyes yere gleaming, At t;:e prospects of a light. British .lack Tars' hearts are oaken, As they were in Nelson's time; Aye. "Aye Beady!" is the token. Words historic," grand, sublime. Drear and long the lion couchant, Has been waiting for this day; Now he roars and proudly rampant Meets his foeineu in tho fray. Tho' the figiit wa» fierce and bloody, Tho' men's l'.febloo;! dyed Uk> waves, Yet thrtje matchless words " Ayo, Heady!" Sound acre,-, their watery graves. Did you meet some battered warships, Scudding like the very de'il, Towards that ha'en the Kaiser worshi])s, Known to all the woi'd a; Kiel? b. McDonald.
