Nations, like individuals, cannot become desperate gamblers with impunity. Punishment is sure to overtake them sooner or later.

The king can drink the best of wine -So can I;And has enough when he would dine -So have I;And can not order rain or shine -Nor can I.Then where's the difference - let me see -Betwixt my lord the king and me?

Tell me, ye wingèd winds That round my pathway roar, Know ye not some spot Where mortals weep no more?

He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done.

If happy I and wretched he, Perhaps the king would change with me.

War in men's eyes shall be A monster of iniquity In the good time coming. Nations shall not quarrel then, To prove which is the stronger; Nor slaughter men for glory's sake; - Wait a little longer.

Some love to roam o'er the dark sea's foam, Where the shrill winds whistle free.
