Excerpt from Patriotic Song: A Book of English Verse, Being an Anthology of the Patriotic Poetry of the British Empire, From the Defeat of the Spanish Armada Till the Death of Queen Victoria

Hoist sails; weigh anchors up; plough up the seas With flying keels plough up the land with swords! You follow them whose swords successful are You follow Drake, by sea the scourge of Spain, The dreadful dragon, terror to your foes, Victorious in his return from Inde.
