The Bab Ballads, with Which Are Included Songs of a Savoyard

THE ENGLISHMAN

Reading edition

Illustration from The Bab Ballads, with Which Are Included Songs of a Savoyard

He is an Englishman! For he himself has said it, And it's greatly to his credit, That he is an Englishman! For he might have been a Roosian, A French, or Turk, or Proosian, Or perhaps Itali-an! But in spite of all temptations, To belong to other nations, He remains an Englishman! Hurrah! For the true-born Englishman!
