Who failed and fled each other. Why? why, marry,

Because no man could understand his neighbour.

They are wiser now, and will not separate

For nonsense. Nay, it is their brotherhood,

Their Shibboleth—their Koran—Talmud—their

Cabala—their best brick-work, wherewithal

They build more——

Be silent! How the soldier's rough strain seems

Softened by distance to a hymn-like cadence!
