When in salt seas Sir Francis Drake did steer, 

 Sailing in oak he sav'd one day i'th'year. 

 His oak, which the terrestrial globe did measure, 

 Through dangers led him t' honour, profit, pleasure.

 To make our house and ships last long and sound; 

 No oak like ours: by love to oak let's then 

 Appear true subjects, and right Englishmen.
