England and France, 1854. Sheet music for a patriotic song, poetry [lyrics] by Charles Mackay, music by Mrs. Joseph Kirkman [Louisa Kirkman?]. 'Who dare disturb the lands, Arming their felon bands, lifting their blood-red hands ] Let them advance! Two mighty States combined, Both of one heart and mind, Combat for human kind, England and France! Friends of the rightful cause, Guardians of Europe's laws, Guilt in its schemes shall pause, Awed by their glance! Where their twin banners wave, Freedom shall bless the slave; Glory attend the brave England and France! Foes of our peace and right, Tempt not the useless fight, Vain is your arm of might, Vain sword and lance! True hearts repeat the cry, England and Liberty! England and Victory! England and France!'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
