We first saw light in Canada, the land beloved of God;
\nWe are the pulse of Canada, its marrow and its blood:
\nAnd we, the men of Canada, can face the world and brag
\nThat we were born in Canada beneath the British flag.<\/p>\n

Few of us have the blood of kings, few are of courtly birth,
\nBut few are vagabonds or rogues of doubtful name and worth;
\nAnd all have one credential that entitles us to brag\u2014
\nThat we were born in Canada beneath the British flag.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve yet to make our money, we\u2019ve yet to make our fame,
\nBut we have gold and glory in our clean colonial name;
\nAnd every man\u2019s a millionaire if only he can brag
\nThat he was born in Canada beneath the British flag.<\/p>\n

No title and no coronet is half so proudly worn
\nAs that which we inherited as men Canadian born.
\nWe count no man so noble as the one who makes the brag
\nThat he was born in Canada beneath the British flag.<\/p>\n

The Dutch may have their Holland, the Spaniard have his Spain,
\nThe Yankee to the south of us must south of us remain;
\nFor not a man dare lift a hand against the men who brag
\nThat they were born in Canada beneath the British flag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":251,"menu_order":1,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[48],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-139","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry","chapter-type-numberless"],"part":136,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/251"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/139\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":140,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/139\/revisions\/140"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/136"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/139\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=139"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=139"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/flintandfeather\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
