But since the War began your English readers
Have welcomed Martin's admirable leaders—
Which prove that all that's honest, clean and wise
In the United States is pro-Allies—
And learned to recognise in Life a friend
On whom to reckon to the bitter end.
But these good services you now have crowned
By something finer, braver, more profound—
Your "John Bull Number," where we gladly trace
Pride in the common glories of our race,
