ST GEORGE
Glory to you on
this day
Saint George,
Our patron of
legend and lore.
Oh, how we English
should
Do so much more.
You saved us from hell
Saint George,
Without your lance
To the fore,
There’s no freedom
For the poor,
Saint George.
Where your flag
flies,
Your spirit never
dies,
Your strength,
Your honour,
Deep in our core.
Saint George.
Evelyn Waugh
“Other
nations use force,
We
English alone use Might!”
Edmund Spencer
(1553-99) Poet
“St
George shalt called be, St George of merry
England,
the sign of Victory”
William Shakespeare
– King John
“This
England never did, nor never shall,
Be
at the proud foot of a conqueror”
Happy St Georges
Day
