World to arms	A
Do you shrink	B
What shrink when the hoofs of the Cossack are crushing	C
The bosom of mother the tonsure of priest	D
And the youth of a nation pain maddened is rushing	C
On visible doom as to tourney or feast	D
When the savagest hell hounds that ever existed	E
Are hunting the tender and brave of our race	F
And the lash of the insolent Tartar is twisted	E
With mock of defiance and cracked in your face	F
Do you shrink	B
	-
World to arms	A
Do you shrink gallant France when the blood of a nation	G
Ne'er stinted for you for itself flows in vain	H
Aroused by the might of a grand inspiration	G
Avenge with your war clang the souls of the slain	H
If you shrink may you never know ending or respite	I
To strife internecine and factional hate	J
Except when the hand of liberticide despot	K
Imposes on all one opprobrious fate	J
France to arms	A
	-
Do you shrink	B
You politic Austria now that you only	L
If feebly you hesitate hasten your doom	M
Have you yet not discovered that selfish and lonely	L
An Empire but marches blindfold to the tomb	M
Let a penitent sword in sublime vindication	G
Of Freedom its manifold mischiefs undo	N
If you shrink may the multiplied wrongs of each nation	G
You ever have outraged be hurled back on you	N
Do you shrink	B
	-
World to arms	A
O my beautiful Italy nought of misgiving	C
Doth trouble the summons that touches your pride	O
The graves of your slaughtered are fresh but your living	C
Are throbbing to conquer or sleep at their side	O
By your maidens equipped in whose beauty exult you	N
Your sons must make ready with pennon and sheen	P
To go straight If you shrink but I will not insult you	N
Who often unfortunate never were mean	P
Then to arms	A
	-
World to arms	A
Do you shrink	B
Shrink England what shrink when intoxicate Tartar	Q
Deriding your wrath rides in blood to the waist	R
When the flesh of the virgin the bones of the martyr	Q
The breast of the matron are bared and defaced	R
Do you deem diplomatic frivolities ample	S
To save you your title of moral and just	T
When a horde of ensanguined barbarians trample	S
Mankind and remonstrance alike in the dust	T
England shrink	B
No to arms	A
	-
All to arms	A
Will you wait till behind the impassable rampart	T
Of winter they laugh at your impotent rage	U
And your war nostrils frozen your ironclads hampered	T
Destruction then Order'' shall swoop on the stage	U
Yes the spring will come back and unbar you the ocean	G
But will not the sinews relax of the slain	H
Swift to arms Set the vengeance charged tumbrils in motion	G
As dread as God's thunder as blest as His rain	H
