BELGIUM, _a girl dressed in Belgian costume, - clutching Belgium’s flag to her heart, enters and rushes to - center of stage_. - - -_BELGIUM_: - -Hark! Hark! Do you not hear it? The heavy measured tread, the rumbling -cannon, the screaming shot, the bursting shell, the anguished cries of -my brave children? - -Look! Look! Can you not see? Nay, thank God you cannot see what I have -been forced to look upon. (BELGIUM _covers her eyes_.) Oh, my sons! My -brave sons--for ye were brave! Ye fell, but ye fell with your faces to -the foe, defending your homes, your country, and your honor! Still ye -are gone and I am left desolate. - -Oh, my children, my children! None too young, none too old, none too -brave, none too tender to escape the brutal destroyer! All lost, lost, -lost! - - (_The distant strains of “Sambre et Meuse” are heard and_ - FRANCE, _a girl dressed in classic white robe, wearing liberty - cap, and carrying tricolor, enters. She goes to_ BELGIUM’S - _side and places her hand on the latter’s shoulder_.) - -_FRANCE_: - -Arise, my Sister. All is _not_ lost! Thine honor and thy truth and thy -loyalty are all untarnished. Pure and white they shine before the eyes -of all the world. Till the stars fade and the sun dies, all men shall -say of thee, “Belgium’s is a consecrated,--Belgium’s is a holy ground!” - -Lift up thy flag. It has never trailed in the dust, and it never shall. -Together, shoulder to shoulder, we will face the foe, and _They Shall -Not Pass_. On, on my Sister, on to Victory! - -NO. 2. _CHORUS_: “THE MARSEILLAISE”: - - Ye sons of Freedom, wake to glory! - Hark! Hark! what myriads bid you rise! - Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary, - Behold their tears and hear their cries! - Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding, - With hireling hosts, a ruffian band, - Affright and desolate the land, - While peace and liberty lie bleeding? - - To arms! To arms! ye brave! - The avenging sword unsheathe; - March on! March on! all hearts resolved - On victory or death. - - Now, now the dangerous storm is rolling, - Which treacherous kings, confederate, raise; - The dogs of war, let loose, are howling, - And lo! our fields and cities blaze; - And shall we basely view the ruin, - While lawless force with guilty stride, - Spreads desolation far and wide, - With crimes and blood his hands imbruing? - - O Liberty! can man resign thee, - Once having felt thy generous flame? - Can dungeons, bolts, or bars confine thee? - Or whips thy noble spirit tame? - Too long the world has wept bewailing - That falsehood’s dagger tyrants wield, - But freedom is our sword and shield, - And all their arts are unavailing. - - (_While the chorus sing “The Marseillaise,”_ FRANCE _and_ - BELGIUM _stand with unfurled flags_. FRANCE, _several steps - in front of_ BELGIUM, _appears to lead the music. Appropriate - pantomime during the singing will help._ BELGIUM, _too, shows - the effects of the music, first, by an awakened look, then by - advancing one step at a time, until she is shoulder to shoulder - with_ FRANCE _when the song ends_.) - -_BELGIUM_: - -Dare I, dare I believe? - -_FRANCE_: - -Believe? Believe the victory will be ours? Aye, never doubt it. Nor -shall we fight alone. Britain joins our cause. - -_BELGIUM_: - -Britain? Britain, the proud, the arrogant! Why think ye she will come? - -_FRANCE_: - -Because she hath promised. - -_BELGIUM_: - -Promised! Promised! Methinks I have heard that the promises of strong -nations are but “scraps of paper.” - -_FRANCE_: - -But not Britain’s promises! Proud, arrogant, and strong she may be, but -when was she known to break a treaty? She hath promised her fleets to -guard my shore and I rely on her word. Britain never shall be foresworn. - -(_MUSIC: “Rule Britannia” heard as at a distance._) - -_BELGIUM_: - -Hark! What is that? - -_FRANCE_: - -There! it is she! Did I not tell you Britain would keep her word? - -NO. 3. _CHORUS_: “RULE BRITANNIA”: - - When Britain first at Heaven’s command, - Arose from out the azure main, - This was the charter of the land, - And guardian angels sang the strain: - Rule, Britannia, rule the waves, - Britons never shall be slaves. - - Still more majestic shalt thou rise, - More dreadful from each foreign stroke; - As the loud blast that tears the skies - Serves but to root thy native oak. - Rule, Britannia, rule the waves, - Britons never shall be slaves. - - Thee, haughty tyrants ne’er shall tame; - All their attempts to bear thee down - Will but arouse thy generous flame, - But work their woe, and thy renown. - Rule Britannia, rule the waves, - Britons never shall be slaves. - - (_As the chorus reach the refrain “Rule Britannia, rule - the waves!”_ BRITAIN _enters.

(_Turning to_ BELGIUM.) Said I not so? - -_BELGIUM_: - -I had thought--I feared-- - -_BRITAIN_ (_stretching her hand to_ BELGIUM): - -I understand, say no more. - - “Men whispered that our arm was weak, - Men said our blood was cold, - And that our hearts no longer speak - The clarion-note of old; - But let the spear and sword draw near - The sleeping lion’s den, - His island shore shall start once more - To life with armèd men.” - -_BRITAIN_ (_continuing_): - -Nor think, O Belgium, that thy bravery and thy chivalry count for -naught. - - “Whatever men have done, man may,-- - The deeds you wrought are not in vain!” - -(_To_ FRANCE): Not only do I guard the ocean with my fleets; I bring -here my children to aid you in upholding justice, truth and liberty. - -England, what is thy message? - -_ENGLAND_ (_saluting_): - -Ready! - - “Old England’s sons are English yet, - Old England’s hearts are strong; - And still she wears her coronet - Aflame with sword and song. - As in their pride our fathers died, - If need be, so die we; - So wield we still, gainsay who will, - The sceptre of the sea.” - -_BRITAIN_: - -“England, stand fast; let heart and hand be steady; Be thy first word -thy last,--Ready, aye, ready!” - -NO. 4. _CHORUS_: “YE MARINERS OF ENGLAND!” - - The meteor flag of England - Shall yet terrific burn; - Till danger’s troubled night depart - And the star of peace return. - Then, then, ye ocean-warriors! - Our song and feast shall flow - To the fame of your name, - When the storm has ceased to blow! - When the fiery fight is heard no more, - And the storm has ceased to blow! - -_BRITAIN_: - -Ireland, what message do you bring? - -_IRELAND_ (_stepping forward and saluting_): - - And when did Erin e’er hold back, - When Freedom called for men? - I’m with you to the finish, friends, - For God and the Right, Amen! - -_ALL_ (_with upraised banners_): - -“God and the Right, Amen!” - -NO. 5. _CHORUS_: “THE MINSTREL-BOY”: - - The minstrel-boy to the war is gone, - In the ranks of death you’ll find him; - His father’s sword he has girded on, - And his wild harp slung behind him. - “Land of song!” cried the warrior-bard, - “Though all the world betrays thee, - One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard, - One faithful heart shall praise thee.” - -_BRITAIN_: - -Scotland, what is thy message? - -_SCOTLAND_ (_stepping forward and saluting_): - - From Scotia’s Isles and storm-tossed shore, - From fortress-rock and peaceful glen, - Come ranks of lion-hearted men-- - Come clansmen true as knights of old, - Meet warriors for achievement bold, - Loving their home, but Freedom more! - -(_Continues, peering and pointing as if seeing a far-off vision_): - - I see their plaids and tartans wave, - I know them, bravest of the brave! - I see their eyes with purpose fired; - I know their hearts with right inspired; - I know their purpose--all mine own-- - That Freedom shall resume her throne! - Hear! hear their slogan stern and old-- - Meet slogan for my warriors bold! - -NO. 6 _CHORUS_: “SCOTS WHA HAE”: - - Wha for Scotland’s king and law - Freedom’s sword will strongly draw, - Freeman stand, or freeman fa’, - Let him follow me! - - By oppression’s woes and pains! - By your sons in servile chains, - We will drain our dearest veins, - But they shall be free! - - Lay the proud usurpers low! - Tyrants fall in every foe! - Liberty at every blow! - Let us do or die! - -_ALL_: - -“Let us do or die!” - -_BRITAIN_: - -Wales, what is thy message? - -_WALES_ (_stepping forward and saluting_): - - Since Arthur formed his table round, - Within my favored land, - And taught each page, and squire, and knight, - For Freedom’s cause to stand, - And ’gainst oppression urge their might, - My sons have stood for God and right. - And so we join you in this fight! - -NO. 7. _CHORUS_: “HARLECH”: - - Men of Harlech! in the hollow, - Do you hear like rushing billow, - Wave on wave that surging follow, - Battle’s distant sound? - ’Tis the tramp of Saxon foeman, - Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen, - Be they knights, or hinds, or yeomen, - They shall bite the ground! - Loose the folds asunder, - Flag we conquer under! - The placid sky now bright on high, - Shall launch its bolts in thunder, - Onward! ’tis our country needs us. - He is bravest, he who leads us! - Honor’s self now proudly heads us! - Freedom, God, and Right! - -_BRITAIN_: - -Canada, youngest of my daughters, ye send each gallant son forth, a -maiden-knight, to earn his spurs. What is thy message? - -_CANADA_ (_advancing and saluting_): - - “I give my soldier boy a blade, - In fair Damascus fashioned well; - Who first the glittering falchion swayed, - Who first beneath its fury fell, - I know not; but I hope to know, - That for no mean or hireling trade, - To guard no feeling base or low-- - I give my soldier boy the blade! - - “For country’s claim at honor’s call, - For outraged friend, insulted maid. - At mercy’s voice to bid it fall-- - I give my soldier boy the blade!” - -_FRANCE_: - -The sword unsheathed in such a cause will ne’er be tarnished.
