England, in this great fight to which you go / Because, where Honour calls you, go you must, / Be glad, whatever comes, at least to know / You have your quarrel just.
Peace was your care; before the nations' bar / Her cause you pleaded and her ends you sought; / But not for her sake, being what you are, / Could you be bribed and bought.
