The Soul unbroken when the Body tires—

These are the things our weary world requires

Far more than superfluities of wit;

Wherefore we pray you, sons of generous sires,

Be fit—be fit! For Honour’s sake be fit.

There is one lesson at all Times and Places—

One changeless Truth on all things changing writ,

For boys and girls, men, women, nations, races—

Be fit—be fit! And once again, be fit!
