Have made the task we toil at sorely hard;
Yet must we toil unhalting, though unaided and ungladdened
By the Song of England’s tyrant-scourging bard.
15.
Such causes long are championed amidst slander, shame, and sorrow,
But ever to one issue. Well know we,
Heard by our ears to-day or by other ears to-morrow,
Our England’s “Aye!” shall ring from sea to sea!
