[XX. SUMMING IT UP]

We must be free or die, who speak the tongue

That Shakespeare spake: the faith and morals hold

Which Milton held.

Wordsworth’s “It is not to be thought of.”

Drink! to our fathers who begot us men,

To the dead voices that are never dumb;

Then to the land of all our loves, and then

To the long parting, and the age to come.

Henry Newbolt’s “Sacramentum Supremum.”
