and Right, With his flag of Oppression unfurled: Old England and France hand-in-hand will advance In the wide path of Progress and Glory, That will win them a name on the bright scroll of Fame, Everlasting in song and in story. Old England and France, then, for ever; Brave France and Old England for ever; And while the world stands may the glorious Twin-lands Be united in friendship together. Both by land and by sea this land of the free-- Britannia, the Queen of the wave, Proudly stands side by-side, and in Friendship allied, With France, the gallant and the brave: Whilst the stern Tyrant raves at his nobles and slaves, Old England and France frown defiance, And both bravely press on till the goal shall be won-- Then Hurrah! for the glorious alliance! Old England and France, then, for ever; Brave France and Old England for ever; And while the world stands may the glorious Twin-lands Be united in friendship together. AGAINST THE STREAM. (FOR MUSIC.) How oft, in life's rough battle, we, Struck down by hard adversity, In saddest hour of trial see No friend with helping hand. Then in despair beneath the wave We sink, with none to help or save. When if we 'd been both bold and brave We might have reached the land. Should things go wrong this is the plan; Forget the past as best you can, Then turn your sleeves up like a man And pull against the stream. Yes, pull against the stream, my friends; That lane is long which never ends; That bow ne'er made which never bends To shoot its arrow home. If twenty times you miss your aim, Or ten times twenty lose the game, Keep up your spirits all the same-- Your turn is sure to come. Should things go wrong this is the plan; Forget the past as best you can, Then turn your sleeves up like a man And pull against the stream. In love or pleasure, work or play, Men cannot always win the day, For mixed among life's prizes gay What hosts of blanks are found. Though skies to-day be overcast-- Though bitter blows the wintry blast-- The Summer days will come at last With hope and sunshine crown'd. Should things go wrong this is the plan; Forget the past as best you can, Then turn your sleeves up like a man, And pull against the stream. WRECKED IN SIGHT OF HOME. (FOR MUSIC.) The ship through
