The King's Honour.
To the editors and writers of certain libels against King George V. In a Parisian leaflet called The Liberator.
Thrice cursed and mis-shapen hands that dared To pen foul slanders on our King and Queen, Have ye forgotten, even how it fared With those, thy kindred swine, of Gadarene?
Fools ! Did ye in your folly dream that we, We men of England, would believe the lies Writ by the filth-stained hands of such as ye, Whose leprous lips bear nought but calumnies ?
Know, then, that ...all your poisoned barbs are vain !
That, wheresoe'er the winds our banners fling, No honest British ear would ever deign To hearken unto lies against his King.
64 A Song for Empire Day.
The children cried to their Island Queen, " O, mother, and how shall we say, When the nations ask us what we mean When we speak of our Empire Day, And talk of the good old rights long fought on the salt sea spray?" And Mother Britannia laughed aloud As she answered her children then : " Let your speech be fair and true and proud, Ye shall say to the sons of men, We fought for the name of Empire, sirs, and will fight again, " There be four strong winds in heav'n that blow, They blow around the earth and back, And where'er they blow our vessels go, Proud ships that fly the Union Jack, Dreadnought, destroyer, merchantman, collier, and fishing smack.
