Success to thee, Old England.
Here's success to thee, Old England,
Success to thee, and then,
A health to those brave sons of thine,
The gallant Englishmen;
For warmer hearts have never throbb'd,
Nor braver ever been,
Than those who form in phalanx warm
The bulwark of thy Queen.
Then success to thee, Old England,
For whate'er thy errors be,
Thou still art known from zone to zone,
As the dauntless and the free;
And who but thee, Old England,
Thou merciful as brave,
Performed that heavenly mission,
Which gave freedom to the slave?
