England

William Shakespeare (1564–1616)


From “King John,” Act V. Sc. 7. THIS England never did, nor never shall,
Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, * * * * *
Come the three corners of the world in arms,
And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue,
If England to itself do rest but true.	5
