THE CHAPTER OF FOES.

[_]

Tune—“The Chapter of Kings.”

By Mr Michael Wilson.

The foes of old England—France, Holland, and Spain,
The Rushes, the Prushes, the Austrian, and Dane,
Together combined in an infamous band,
To invade and to conquer us right out of hand.

CHORUS.

But by land and by ocean,
I've somehow a notion,
We'll beat them all round in their turn.
