Just sit down and think of England; she whose cradle was a
grave, •
She who had to win to freedom from the bondage of a slave.
Tell yourself her tale of glory, then let England's dead reply
To the question of your spirit, "Who is England if not I?"
England, once the least of Illations, where the Roman Eagle flew,
Where the sons of Thor dame burning, where the mighty Nor-
man slew, *
See how n.ow, supreme hi splendor, leading all the world's ad-
- vaitee,
First to crush the Prussian serpent, first 'to save the soul of
France,
Standing like a granite lighthouse where the fiercest waves are
hurled,
In herself secure and giving light to all the trembling world.
What is England's glorious story but the story one by one
Of her children sternly minded that their duty should be done ?

plant. Thus, garlic was formerly "gar-'
leae" or "the leek with a spear," front
