And his menace be void and vain,

For you are lords of a strong young land and we are lords of the main.

Yes, this is the voice on the bluff March gale;

We severed have been too long,

But now we are done with a worn-out tale—

The tale of an ancient wrong—

And our friendship shall last long as love doth last and be stronger than death is strong.
