Unwearied by the battle’s toil,
Uncumbered by the battle’s spoil,
No dangers must affright;
Nor rest seduce to slothful ease,
Intent alone his chief to please,
Who called him forth to fight.
Soldier of Christ, if thou wouldst be
Worthy that epithet, stand free
From time’s encumbering things;
Be earth’s enthralments feared, abhorred,
