James Henry Leigh Hunt - Bellman`s Verses For 1814
Work rating: Low

Huzza, my boys! our friends the Dutch have risen, 
Our good old friends, and burst the Tyrant`s prison!
Aye, and have done it without bloodshed too,
Like men, to sense as well as freedom true.
The moment, I`ll be sworn, that Ocean heard it,
With a new dance of waters it bestirr`d it;
And Trade, reviving from her trance of death,
Took a new lease of sunshine and of breath.
Let`s aid them, my fine fellows, all we can:—
Where`s finer business for an Englishman—
Who knows what `tis to eat his own good bread,
And see his table-cloth securely spread—
Than helping to set free a neighbour`s oven?
Huzza! The Dutch for ever! Orange Boven!
