And spanks through their ranks

Whilst the bowlers puff and blow,

Though Tom Emmett sends them swift and straight,

And the “field” do all they know.

Britannia need not tremble

Whilst he his “block” can keep,

And slog for sixes and for fours,

Though the field stand close or deep

There’s “powder” yet in every stroke,

His “drives” like lightning go,
