FINIS CORONAT OPUS.

Ring out, glad bolls, let banners -wave From, every mast and stately fane, To welcome back the bold and brave

Who've made us victors once again I Ring out, joy bells, from every clime, 'Nea.th Austral heat, Canadian, snow Fiom Ganges, Murray, coaly Tyne, Wherever waters ebb and flow!

Wherever England's Saxon tongue And England s power is held supreme, There let joy bells bo gaily rung, By city, village, mount, and stream!

Let Briton, Scot, and Irish show The cloud has pasßed, and England's might Has shown a lesson to her foe, While fighting for her famo and right 1 Her offspring, too, have bravely shown That they can fight as well as she, And reap proud laurels all their own,

No matter where, on land or seal

The -wily Boer, the rebel hoidc. In stubborn strife their fate have met, On kopje, veldt, by river ford,

At point of lance and bayonet l Brave hearts wero they who nt the call Of Mother England armed for strife, Went death to meet from Mauser ball,

Leaving mother, sister, home, and wife I Upon the sun-parched veldt they lie; They gave their lives for honour's cause. That England's meteor flag might fly, Emblem of just and wholesome la.wsl

Then toll, ye bells, from every tower; Let martial minute guns proclaim That England, in her victnx hour, Her gallant sons inters again ! And from King Edward's Empire round,

Upon a day set forth apart, Let requiem's solemn notes resound, Sung by an Empire's mournful heartl

In. fancy, on their graves we'll lay

Zealandia's flag — fit soldier's pall, Then let thenu rest till Judgment Day In care of Him, the Lord of all. —Neville Thohnton, Scenic Artist.
