21 THE NAVY AND THE ARMY. Music by Parry.

Though war no more with ruthless band Spreads gloom and terror round, Be not forgot the gallant band That Albion's glory crowned; And while the glass you gaily pass, Where mirth and music charm ye, O, let the toast be England's boast, The navy and the army ! The navy and the army, The army and the navy! O, let, &c.

Our sailors on the mountain wave, Our soldiers on the field, With honour fight, humanely save, But never basely yield. Then while the glass you gaily pass, This welcome tribute levy, A humper toast to Britain's boast," The army and the navy! The navy and the army, The army and the navy! A bumper, &c.

THE SNOW DROP. Music by Bishop.

The snow-drop, first-born flower of spring With violets, to his grave I'll bring, And summer roses I will spread, To deck the turf that hinds his head. And o'er his earthy pillow Shall wave the weeping willow.

Each day I'll sit beside his tomb, To watch the flow'rets as they bloom That where the drooping rose appears, I may revive it with my tears. And o'er his earthy pillow Shall wave the weeping willow.
