FOR TRUTH AND RIGHT.
O'er Britain's realm resounds Ihe ciy: "To arms! To aims!" afar and nigh. The nation calls; ye sons, obey! Haste ye to break the tyiant'a sway! We love not war, but Duty's call Must heeded be, though thousands fall! Our shear did fi^lit before, And whether-glory be our share, Or dire disaster meet us theie, Our watchword is to "Do and D<ire' On distant foreign shore. We love -not war, but Honour' a cause Must be maintained ; nor do we pause, But haste to join the fiay : "For truth and right!" our battle ciy; "For truth and right!" our sons reply. Ours but to conquer, or to die : Who dares to bar the way? We love not war, but Biitain's nams Must never thus be ptst to shame, Or held in tyrant's thrall. While Britain rules the truth shall stand, AnjJ justice reign in every land "For truth and right" our ]ust demana, "And liberty for all!" Eimecldxi, November 1901. r-TjaufigO,
