A British-Roman Song

(A.D. 406)

My father’s father saw it not,

And I, belike, shall never come

To look on that so-holy spot—

The very Rome—

Crowned by all Time, all Art, all Might,

The equal work of Gods and Man,

City beneath whose oldest height—

The Race began!

Soon to send forth again a brood,

Unshakeable, we pray, that clings

To Rome’s thrice-hammered hardihood—

In arduous things.

Strong heart with triple armour bound,

Beat strongly, for Thy life-blood runs,

Age after Age, the Empire round—

In us Thy Sons,

Who, distant from the Seven Hills,

Loving and serving much, require

Thee—Thee to guard ‘gainst home-born ills

The Imperial Fire!
