SPIRIT OF THE NATION.

IV.

They came across the wave,
Says the Shan bhean Bhocth;
They came across the wave,
Says the Shan bhean Bhocth.
They came across the wave,
But to plunder and enslave,
And should find a robber's grave,
Says the Shan bhean Bhocth.


V.

Then be the trusty brand,
Says the Shan bhean Bhocth;
Then be the trusty brand,
Says the Shan bhean Bhocth.
Then be the trusty brand,
Firmly clutch'd in every hand,
And we'll scourge them from the land,
Says the Shan bhean Bhocth.


VI.

There's courage yet and truth,
Says the Shan bhean Bhocth;
There's courage yet and truth,
Says the Shan bhean Bhocth.
There's a God above us all,
And whatever may befall,
No invader shall enthral,
Says the Shan bhean Bhocth.


EPIGRAM.

Newell's new patent washing ball,
If Times and Morning Post say true,
"Will draw out any stain at all,
And leave the fabric good as new."
Oh, if this boast be not a hum,
What wonders quickly will be seen,
For turn-coat B—gh—m will purchase some,
And wash his reputation clean.
