Of hostile nations, who have all along

Maintained their fellow-countrymen were wrong.

No guerdon for their courage is too great,

But, till the War is ended, they must wait;

Then shall Germania, with grateful soul,

Inscribe their names upon her golden roll;

And "monumental brasses" shall attest

The zeal wherewith they strove to foul their nest.

Such homage no one grudges them in lands

Where eulogy for deep damnation stands;
