Unity is a probable solution of the old enigma, part of which evidently refers to “a house divided against itself”—

I’m one among a numerous host,
And very useful in my post;
There’s not a house in all the land
Without me properly can stand.
Though men disputed long ago
Whether I did exist or no,
Once more some thousands have been slain
Because they could not me attain.
