The Singers' companion, a choice selection of fashionable songs/The navy and the army

THE NAVY AND THE ARMY,

Music by Parry

Though war no more with ruthless hand
⁠Spreads gloom and terror round,
Be not forgot the gallant band
⁠That Albion's glory erowned;
And while the glass you gaily pass,
⁠Where mirth and music charm ye,
O, let the toast be England's boast,
⁠The navy and the army!
⁠The navy and the army,
⁠The army and the navy!
⁠O, let, &c.

Our sailors on the mountain wave,
⁠Our soldiers on the field,
With honour fight, humanely save,
⁠But never basely yield.
Then while the glass you gaily pass,
⁠This welcome tribute levy,
A bumper toast to Britain's boast,
⁠The army and the navy!
The navy and the army,
⁠The army and the navy!
⁠A bumper, &c.
