GOOD.
(It is good to be a Briton nowadays.— Sir John Jellieoe). It was good to be a Briton, With a Harry on the throne, Who could make the Britpn's prowess To his warlike neighbours known; When a few though faced by many Never wished that they were more, And were greedy but for glory On the field of Agincourt. It was good to be a Briton When the proud Armada came, In the confidence of numbers To enforce a tyrant's claim; When the little British vessels Darting swiftly to and fro, , Taught the watching world a lesson It was good for it to know. And it's gooil to be a Britor. Now the test has come again That Ims proved there still is in us As of old, the lighting strain. We can wait with dogged patience— We can fight with faith sublime— Oh, it's good to be a Briton In King George's spacious time. —A.W.B., in London Daily Chronicle.
