From Snotty to Sub

by Wolston B. C. W. Forester

CHAPTER V
THE BATTLE OF JUTLAND

Youth's passion, manhood's fierce intent,

With age's judgment wise,

They spent, and counted not they spent,

At daily sacrifice.

. . . . . .

Refraining e'en from lawful things,

They bowed the neck to bear

The unadornèd yoke that brings

Stark toil and sternest care.
