_They gave their best at Waterloo,_ / _For the honour of England's name; _ / _They threw their best on a hundred fields,_ / _To put our foes to shame._ / _'Tis good that England's soldier men_ / _To-day can do the same._
They have proved their worth, / To the ends of the earth. / They have striven and won, -- and failed! / They have shown their might, / On the Dargai Height, / When the _mollah's_ bullets hailed.
