Axes, hammers, help afforded,
What a crush that eve was made!
Deep into the sea descended
Cursed weed of China’s coast;
Thus at once our fears were ended!—
British rights shall ne’er be lost!
Captains, once more hoist your streamers,
Spread your sails and plough the wave,
Tell your masters they were dreamers
When they thought to cheat the brave!
