'Ave you 'eard o' the Widow at Windsor
With a hairy gold crown on 'er 'ead?

An' she pays us poor beggars in red.

Additional quotes by Rudyard Kipling

But he couldn't lie if you paid him and he'd starve before he stole.

Four things greater than all things are,—

We have fed our sea for a thousand years
And she calls us, still unfed,
Though there's never a wave of all her waves
But marks our English dead.
