Last night, among his fellow roughs 90
Lest it be said 260
Let rogues and cheats prognosticate 30
Listen! my brothers of Eton and Harrow 157
Lo, how they come to me 155
Lo, our land this night is lone 231
Lo, ’tis the light of the morn 309
Lying here awake, I hear the watchman’s warning 100
March, march, Ettrick and Teviotdale 186
Men of England! who inherit 62
Men of the Hills and men of the Plains, men of the Isles and
Sea 276
Methinks already from this chymic flame 32
My England, island England, such leagues and leagues away 141
My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here 180
My name, d’ye see, ’s Tom Tough, I’ve seed a little sarvice 41
New Year, be good to England. Bid her name 129
Nobly, nobly Cape St. Vincent to the North-West died away 92
Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note 69
Not ’mid the thunder of the battle guns 299
Not tasselled palm or bended cypress wooing 233
Now all the youth of England are on fire 12
O, Bay of Dublin! how my heart you’re troublin’ 222
Oh! Charlie is my darling, my darling, my darling 204
O Child of Nations, giant-limbed 250
O England, thou hast many a precious dower 99
Of Nelson and the North 60
Of old sat Freedom on the heights 82
Oft in the pleasant summer years 268
O gallant was our galley from her carven steering-wheel 280
O! he was lang o’ comin’ 199
O how comely it is, and how reviving 24
O, Kenmure’s on and awa, Willie 202
O land of Druid and of Bard 165
O! my dark Rosaleen 219
Once more upon the waters! yet once more 64
‘On with the charge!’ he cries, and waves his sword 244
O, Paddy dear! an’ did ye hear the news that’s goin’ round 211
O, the East is but West, with the sun a little hotter 243
O, then, tell me, Shawn O’Ferrall, tell me why you hurry so 235
O, the red rose may be fair 237
