But mark the oversight you made,

Forgetting, while you waxed so fat,

That England, whom you once betrayed,

Might have a word to say to that;

Might, if for love of your fair eyes

Greece should decide again to wobble,

Conceivably withdraw supplies

And cut her off with half an obol.

Roar loud, O Lion of Lucerne!

But lo, upon Britannia's shore
