A Nation spoke to a Nation,[104]
As our mother the Frigate, bepainted and fine,[9]
Before a midnight breaks in storm,[vii]
Duly with knees that feign to quake,[123]
For things we never mention,[39]
God gave all men all earth to love,[81]
Her hand was still on her sword-hilt, the spur was still on her heel,[118]
In extended observation of the ways and works of man,[107]
Now the Four-way Lodge is opened, now the Hunting Winds are loose,[44]
Oh glorious are the guarded heights,[70]
Oh Hubshee, carry your shoes in your hand and bow your head on your breast![113]
Oh ye who tread the Narrow Way,[90]
Said England unto Pharaoh, ‘I must make a man of you,’[98]
Take up the White Man’s burden,[94]
The God of Fair Beginnings,[32]
‘There’s no sense in going further—it’s the edge of cultivation,’[61]
The strength of twice three thousand horse,[13]
They christened my brother of old,[4]
This is our lot if we live so long and labour unto the end,[57]
We have no heart for the fishing, we have no hand for the oar,[26]
We’ve sent our little Cupids all ashore,[23]
When I was a King and a Mason—a Master proven and skilled,[78]
When that great Kings return to clay,[74]
When the darkened Fifties dip to the North,[87]
Where run your colts at pasture,[18]
Who hath desired the Sea?—the sight of salt water unbounded,[1]
With those that bred, with those that loosed the strife,[77]
Yearly, with tent and rifle, our careless white men go,[51]
