Geocache Description:

This cache is named for the Cornish National Anthem

This is one of the areas in Grass Valley that honors the original Cornish Miners of the area.

Given that there is going to be a Cornish Gathering in Grass Valley in the summer of 2009, it seems well to have a cache at this location.

Bring your own pencil.

A gold $ for the ftf

The 'National Anthem' of Corwall
A good sword and a trusty hand!
A merry heart and true!
King James's men shall understand
What Cornish lads can do!

And have they fixed the where and when?
And shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
Will know the reason why!

Chorus:
And shall Trelawny live?
And shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty thousand Cornish men
Will know the reason why!

Out spake their Captain brave and bold:
A merry wight was he:
'If London Tower were Michael's hold,
We'd set Trelawny free!

'We'll cross the Tamar, land to land:
The Severn is no stay:
With "one and all," and hand in hand;
And who shall bid us nay?

Chorus:
And shall Trelawny live? , etc.

'And when we come to London Wall,
A pleasant sight to view,
Come forth! come forth! ye cowards all:
Here's men as good as you.

'Trelawny he's in keep and hold;
Trelawny he may die:
But twenty thousand Cornish bold
Will know the reason why!'
