Edward Elgar used the same melody in three compositions: Pomp & Circumstance March No. 1, Coronation Ode, and Land Of Hope & Glory. In addition to the familiar shared section, each of these three compositions contains music not heard in the others. And each of the two vocal compositions contains lyrics not heard in the other.

The eight measures quoted by FZ are from the section shared by the three compositions.
