When, with French blood our fields manured, The glorious struggle’s ended, We’ll sing the dangers we’ve endured, The blessings we’ve defended: O’er the full bowl our feats we’ll tell, Each gallant deed reciting; And weep o’er those who nobly fell Their country’s battle fighting— And ever thence our song shall be, “’Tis VALOUR leads to VICTORY”.

[The following Song which furnished the hints for the one above was written by MILES PETER ANDREWS, M.P. for Bewdley, and a dealer in gunpowder; but his Plays, Prologues, Verses, &c., by no means resemble so active a composition. He, with other members of the “_Della Crusca_,” was savagely attacked and extinguished by W. Gifford in “_The Baviad_”. His song was set to music by Sir HENRY BISHOP. He died in 1814.
