THE PENTAGRAM.
In the Years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth,
Man mastered the mammoth and the horse; and Man was the Lord of the Earth.
He made him an hollow skin from the heart of an holy tree;
He compassed the earth therein, and Man was Lord of the Sea.
He controlled the vigour of steam, he harnessed the lightning for hire;
He drove the celestial team; and Man was the Lord of the Fire.
Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated, the choirs of the aeons declare
The last of the demons defeated, for Man is the Lord of the Air.
Arise, O man, in thy strength! the kingdom is thine to inherit,
Till the high gods witness at length that Man is the Lord of his spirit.

ENGLAND, STAND FAST!
England, stand fast! Stand fast against the foe!
They struck the first blow: we shall strike the last.
Peace at the price of Freedom? We say No.
England, stand fast!
The earth hurls thunderbolts; the sea spurts death;
The shies drop murder; hell itself aghast!
Answer, with steady eye and easy breath!
England, stand fast!
England, the centuries have not sent thee shame.
Tamer of tyrants, from thy purple past
Thy heroes call thee, from their heaven of fame:
England, stand fast!
England, resistless as the gales that sweep
Thy seas, and free as their rejoicing blast,
Roll forth again defiance o’er the deep;
England, stand fast!
Wide-winged, see Victory flaming from the prow,
The colours nailed upon the plunging mast!
We have no cur or slave to falter now.
England, stand fast!
By the strong soul of manhood firm and free,
By thy high deeds of honour not surpassed,
By all the valours that are yet to be,
England, stand fast!

Thumbs Up!
England, stand fast! We made the brave man’s choice.
We staked our all upon the single cast.
Winning or dying, let the heart rejoice:
England, stand fast!
England, one soul of steel, one heart of oak,
One voice of silver, sound thy tempest-blast!
Pass round the watchword through the battle-smoke;
England, stand fast!
