Gilbert Keith Chesterton - The EnglishmanGilbert Keith Chesterton - The Englishman
Work rating: Low


St George he was for England, And before he killed the dragon He drank a pint of English ale Out of an English flagon. For though he fast right readily In hair-shirt or in mail, It isn`t safe to give him cakes Unless you give him ale. St George he was for England, And right gallantly set free The lady left for dragon`s meat And tied up to a tree; But since he stood for England And knew what England means, Unless you give him bacon You mustn`t give him beans. St George he is for England, And shall wear the shield he wore When we go out in armour With battle-cross before. But though he is jolly company And very pleased to dine, It isn`t safe to give him nuts Unless you give him wine.
