following patriotic lyric;
1882.
Great England nut her armor by, and stretched
Her stately limbs to slumber IN me sun
The Nations. seeing then how long she slept
I'd together, and in whispers sald:
"Ioi She is old and tired; let US steal ,,
The crown from of her brows. She VIII not KNOW
And Goneril and Regain, over seas, r,,.
Mocklng her, cried: " Her tllne Is past her piood
IL Sluggish. and her rusted sword from out
Her scebbard she will draw no more y Ana so
Tins gibing flung with cruel hands the seeus
OF d scOrd and OF hate amidst her sons
Put from the East there blast too loud,
Az from the West there came talnt too mucnj
And she awakng. raisd her head. and saw
Around her all her faithless friends ana al
Her sisters and her children 1eeflng her,
And CRYING She Is odw and melting out
Her lands amongst them selves, and parcelline
Her honor Then, swift as hghtning flashes
From the blue skies her glance OF scorn fell on then
And they crOucnd like wolves That are oer1nastered
England stretched ont her hand and touehd the world
England arose. and spake and calmly said
Nay, am mistress stn.'
