To The Australian Eleven
You have bearded the lion in his den,
You have singed the original cricket
Upon his own hearth, and beaten his men
On a genuine English wicket;
And so the Australian kangaroo
Has a right good right to be proud of you.
That you’ve had your even share of the luck
We’ll allow, argumenti gratia,
