But who, if he be called upon to face
Some awful moment to which Heaven has joined
Great issues, good or bad for humankind,
Is happy as a lover.
Character of the Happy Warrior.
And through the heat of conflict keeps the law
In calmness made, and sees what he foresaw.
Character of the Happy Warrior.
Whom neither shape of danger can dismay,
Nor thought of tender happiness betray.
