What of the bow? / The bow was made in England: / Of true wood, of yew-wood, / The wood of English bows; / So men who are free / Love the old yew-tree / And the land where the yew-tree grows.

What of the cord? / The cord was made in England: / A rough cord, a tough cord, / A cord that bowmen love; / And so we will sing / Of the hempen string / And the land where the cord was wove.
