     Steal, steal, steal

Wherefore are ye strong

     Steal, steal, steal

The weak are ever wrong

     Englishmen remember all

The example your nation doth deal

Scotland, Ireland, the Transvaal

Many a land {…}

     So steal, steal, steal!

Wherefore strength if not t’oppress

Wherefore might if not to make distress

Wherefore

So, men of England, continue your work

     And steal, steal, steal!

     Murder and rapine hallows

How many a hero, were there no wars

     Had ended in the gallows.
