Subject: RE: Any July Songs From: GUEST,henryp Date: 23 Jul 24 - 03:42 AM 23 July On this day in 1759 Work started on the Royal Navy’s 104-gun battleship HMS Victory, at Chatham, Kent, built from the wood of 6,000 trees, 90 per cent of which were oak. The name Victory was chosen in October 1760. In 1759, the Seven Years' War was going well for Britain; land victories had been won at Quebec and Minden and naval battles had been won at Lagos and Quiberon Bay. It was the Annus Mirabilis, or Wonderful Year. Come cheer up, my lads! 'tis to glory we steer, To add something more to this wonderful year; To honour we call you, as free men not slaves, For who are so free as the sons of the waves? Heart of oak are our ships, heart of oak are our men; We always are ready, steady, boys, steady! We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again. The music of HEART OF OAK was written in 1759 by composer William Boyce, the lyrics by actor David Garrick, for Garrick's pantomime Harlequin's Invasion, to which others contributed as well. The pantomime was first performed on New Year's Eve of that year at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London. The oak in the song's title refers to the wood from which British warships were generally made during the age of sail. The "Heart of oak" is the strongest central wood of the tree. Wikipedia SONGS ABOUT HMS VICTORY include (On Board) The Victory and On Board a Man O'War.

More from Marat/Sade! We've got new generals, our leaders are new They sit and they argue and all that they do Is sell their own colleagues and ride upon their backs Or jail them, or break them, or give them all the ax Screaming in language that no one understands Of the rights that we grabbed with our own bleeding hands When we wiped out the bosses and stormed through the wall Of the prison they told us would outlast us all Also Quatorze Juillet (July 14), a song written in 1940 by the Swiss composer Gilles Jean-Villard for occupied France and sung in 1943 by the French artist Renée Lebas.
