STRIKE AND STRIKE HARD.
Those who have made us
Kings of the deep,
This one rule bade us
Always to keep,
If we from story
Ne'er would be barred,
We must for glory
Strike and strike hard.
Kings of the deep,
This one rule bade us
Always to keep,
If we from story
Ne'er would be barred,
We must for glory
Strike and strike hard.
'Twas so our Drake did,
Hawkins and such;
'Twas so our Blake did,
Smashing the Dutch;
By doubting, never
Be great deeds marred;
Like Nelson, ever
Strike and strike hard.

Weighers of dangers,
Act still too late;
They, to doubt, strangers,
They are the great;
At nothing shrinking,
Use Cochrane's card;
Act while you're thinking;
Strike and strike hard.
Act still too late;
They, to doubt, strangers,
They are the great;
At nothing shrinking,
Use Cochrane's card;
Act while you're thinking;
Strike and strike hard.
