COME if you dare, reivers and raiders!
Come if you dare, to our beautiful shore;
Come if you dare, saucy invaders!
Many or few, you'll return nevermore.
One purpose shall fire us, one thought shall inspire us,
Each bullet we drive shall be true to a hair,
We'll give the full strength of you
Graves the full length of you,
Yes! every one of you, Come if you dare!
