This stirring song, set to a martial air by Odoardo Barri, was dedicated to the Royal Artillery Brigade, it is also a favourite march of the celebrated old corps, the London Rifle Brigade, whose band generally plays it on parade after the Regimental march “Ninety-five,” of which a parody is given on page 20. ―――― THE LIBERAL BRIGADE. Sons of the old and staunch brigade, Who marched on side by side, Muster your forces of every grade, And scatter the foemen wide. Let us be ready and none dismayed, Let us be steady and true; As sons of the old and staunch brigade, The old pioneers we knew. Steadily shoulder to shoulder, Ready and none dismayed, Marching along, steady and strong, Like sons of the old brigade. Form in the streets of the busy town, Form in the rural lane, Form where the turreted mansions frown, And form on the open plain. Liberals all, give your cheerful aid, Manfully play your part; And, like your sires of the old brigade, You’ll live in your country’s heart. Steadily shoulder to shoulder, Ready and none dismayed; Marching along, steady and strong. Like sons of the old brigade. From _Songs for Liberal Electors_, 1886. ―――― PROFESSOR BROWNE’S WONDERFUL TONIC LOTION. Rare were the joys when our hair decayed, We’d naught but to hide our pride: Older and older, shade did fade, Naught but to tell it died. Who so ready as Browne to aid With Tonic Lotion true? Try, and with joy see, undismayed, Hair where before none grew. Then steadily bolder and bolder, Steadily shade by shade, Healthy and strong, hairs come along, Oh! the joys of Browne’s potent aid. Over the sea far and wide they cry―― “Browne’s Tonic Lotion we love; Roots gain new strength, young shoots look spry, And fresh comes a crop above. Not weak and shabby, now they are made Strong, full of grace, and smart; So great our joy, thanks to Browne’s best aid. That deeply we’ll praise Browne’s art.” Then steadily bolder and bolder, Steadily shade by shade, Healthy and strong, hairs come along. Oh! the joys of Browne’s potent aid. ――――:o:―――― _Solo._――MRS.
