(On the Menu Card of the Dinner given by The Field
to the American Polo Team, 25th June 1921)
We welcome you,
Our guests from o'er the sea!
Together flew
Our flags till the world was free ;
And now they shall fly for us while we ride
In our rival friendship side by side.
With you we share
The love of the Greatest Game
Played clean and fair
For no reward but fame
Fame and the Anglo-Saxon pride
In a goal to get and a horse to ride.
Win we or lose,
Clinch firm our vantage or fail.
Your galloping shoes
Our hearts are glad to hail;
And here 's a health to the Big Twin Lands:
'Speed to our ponies! Skill to our hands!'
