DIEU ET MON PROIT.
(The last words from the pen of the Author before leaving for a, protracted sealing
cruise. l Hark' Britannia's voice resounding, "Dieu et inon Droit 1 " All her enc-mies confounding, "Dieu et mon Droit! '
Clothed in power, demanding peace, "Dieu et mon .Droit'" All to share the world's increase, "Dieu et inon Droit!"
By our Throne and Flag we stand — "Dieu et mon Dioit 1 " Blessings flow on every hand: " Dieu et mon Droit! "
This the signal, Greater Britain— " Dieu et mon Droit! " On thy shield so proudly written: "Dieu et mon Dioit 1
Armoured thus, to justice bound, " Dieu et mon Droit ' " All hail 1 Repeat the glorious sound: " Dieu et mon Droit ' — C. H. Welch,
Port Chalmers, June 27.
