OUR manlier spirits hear and will obey 
 The Word YOU waft Australia o?er the sea? 
`Be true, be brave, be merciful, be free!? 
Not you, who, braggart, sent this wan array 
Of hell-ships vomiting their Will-to-Slay, 5 
 These armoured Hates and pallid Envies we, 
 ?Mid rattled mobs and flags hysteric, see 
Tarnish the chaste horizon of our Bay: 
 
But YOU we hear, our Comrades of the Cause, 
 Who face hyæna Mammon in his den: 10 
 And YOU, who dared your seas of blood to spill 
To drag the swooning slave from vampire jaws: 
 Yea, YOU who freed unborn Australia, when 
 You singed King George?s beard at Bunker?s Hill.
