Classic Poem

Hurrah , for the Land of England!
Firm-set in the subject sea;
Where the Women are fair,
And the men (like air)
Are all lovers of liberty!
Hurrah! for merry England!
Long life, without strife, for England!

Hurrah, for the Spirit of England!
The bold, the true, the free:
Who stretcheth his hand,
With a king's command,
All over the circling sea!
Hurrah! for merry England!
Long life, without strife, for England!

Let tyrants rush forth on the nations,
And strive to chain down the free;
But do Thou stand fast,
From the first to the last,
For " The R IGHT , " — wheresoever it be!
O merry, and noble England!
Long life to the Spirit of England!

Hurrah, for William of England!
Our friend, — as a King should be;
Who casteth aside
Man's useless pride,
And leans on his people free!
Hurrah! for the King of England!
The friend of merry England!

Her King is the friend of England;
Her guards are her ships at sea;
BuTher beauty lies
In her women's cyes,
And her strength in her People free!
So, Hurrah! for merry England!
For the King and the free Men of England!
