Who when they pause to consider themselves they get all relicently thrilled and tinglish,
Because every Englishman is convinced of one thing, viz. That to be an Englishman is to belong to the most exclusive
club there is;
A club to which bezighted bounders of Frenchmen and Ger- mans and Italians et cetera cannot even aspire to belong. Because they don't even speak English, and the Americans are
worst of all because they speak it wrong.
Englishmen are distinguished by their traditions and cere-
*monials,
And also by their affection for their colonies and their con-
descension to their colonials.
When foreigners ponder world affairs-why, sometimes by
doubts they are smitten,
But Englishmen know instinctively that what the world needs

They have a splendid navy and they conscientiously admire it. And every English schoolboy knows that John Paul Jones was
only an unfair American pirate.
English people disclaim sparkle and vervej
But speak without reservations of their Anglo-Saxon reserve. After listening to little groups of English ladies and gentlemen

they have to do it because their genteel accents are so de veloped that they can no longer understand each other's spoken words, so the written word is their only means of Intercommunication: Juliana
England is the last home of the aristocracy, and the art of protecting the aristocracy from the encroachments - of commerce has been raised to quite an art,

Anyhow, I think the English people are sweet,
And we might as well get used to them because when they slip and fall they always land on their own or somebody else's feet.
