To the millions of England, ’twas Gladstone who spoke,
“I’ve freed you at last from the Squire’s strong yoke,
The march of the people to triumph I’ve led,
And, henceforth, the rule of the Tories is dead.
Come, follow me, men, for the fight that is near;
Come, gather and rank for the battle that’s here;
And again your old Leader to lead you, you’ll see,
And you’ll fight and you’ll conquer again, led by me.
“You’ll fight as you fought when the people I led,
With Cobden and Bright, and with Peel, for cheap bread;
