_England_, _father and mother in one_, / _Look on your stalwart son_. / Sturdy and strong, with the valour of youth, / Where is another so lusty? / Coated and mailed, with the armour of truth, / Where is another so trusty? / Flesh of your flesh, and bone of your bone, / He is yours alone.
_England_, _father and mother in one_, / _See the wealth of your son_. / Forests primeval, and virginal sod, / Wheat-fields golden and splendid: / Riches of nature and opulent God / For the use of his children intended. / A courage that dares, and a hope that endures, / And a soul all yours.
