Brother in Arras! At our last tiiß|H oF meeting The blood-red battle-wrack hung/ thick above; Wherefore in pride Australia gives you greeting, / / In tribute Qt her loyalty and love. For, though the play be far from be*, f , trig ended, Never since’England’s history be* gan, . -*• ■' Was there a man to play a Prlncfl more splendid, > Or Prince who better played the " part of man!
