And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Up aloft amid the rigging Swiftly blows the loud favouring gale Strong as springtime in its blossom, Filling out each swelling sail And the waves we leave behind us Seem to murmur as they rise, We have tarried here to bear you, To the land you dearly prize.
Now Old England we are leavin' For Australia give a cheer, Fare thee well, ye dark-eyed damsels Give three cheers for Castlemaine XXXX

Strong as springtime in its blossom,
Filling out each swelling sail
And the waves we leave behind us
Seem to murmur as they rise,
We have tarried here to bear you,
To the land you dearly prize.

For Australia give a cheer,
Fare thee well, ye dark-eyed damsels
