William Wordsworth addresses the men of Kent in his poem, calling on them to prove their courage against the threat of France by sending words of invitation to battle. He reminds the men of Kent of their victories against the Norman invaders in the past when they defended their freedoms alone. Now, all of Britain stands united with the men of Kent in defending their liberties, leaving only victory or death as options.

Ye children of a Soil that doth advance Her haughty brow against the coast of France, Now is the time to prove your hardiment! To France be words of invitation sent! They from their fields can see the countenance Of your fierce war, may ken the glittering lance And hear you shouting forth your brave intent. Left single, in bold parley, ye, of yore, Did from the Norman win a gallant wreath; 10 Confirmed the charters that were yours before;-- No parleying now! In Britain is one breath; We all are with you now from shore to shore:-- Ye men of Kent, 'tis victory or death!
