THE BRITISH GRENADIER, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "come, fill up your glasses" Last Line: Then huzza! Huzza! Huzza! Huzza! / for the british grenadier Subject(s): Boston;u.s. - Colonial Period | ||||||||
COME, come fill up your glasses, And drink a health to those Who carry caps and pouches, And wear their looped clothes. For be you Whig or Tory, Or any mortal thing, Be sure that you give glory To George, our gracious King. For if you prove rebellious, He'll thunder in your ears Huzza! Huzza! Huzza! Huzza! For the British Grenadiers! And when the wars are over, We'll march by beat of drum, The ladies cry "So, Ho girls, The Grenadiers have come! The Grenadiers who always With love our hearts do cheer. Then Huzza! Huzza! Huzza! Huzza! For the British Grenadier!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW WE BECAME A NATION [APRIL 15, 1774] by HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOFFORD THE BLASTED HERB by MESECH WEARE JOHN ALDEN'S DREAM by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS ALAMANCE by SEYMOUR W.
