L'Entente Cordiale
(August 7—13th, 1905).
Of old we fought for fiefs and sovereignties;
We grudged each other's titles to be great;
Our clashing fleets incarnadined the seas;
And who was richer for our pride and hate?
We grudged each other's titles to be great;
Our clashing fleets incarnadined the seas;
And who was richer for our pride and hate?
Now, sister-powers upon the midway main,
Guard we the new-found fair inheritance
Which all our greed of Empire could not gain:
For France at length wins England, England France!

Which all our greed of Empire could not gain:
For France at length wins England, England France!
