In the lost battle, Borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle With groans of the dying.
Fair play is a jewel.
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
He that climbs a ladder must begin at the first round.
Still are the thoughts to memory dear.
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger; but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
