"HONOR, NOT HONORS"
Table of Contents
Hast thou for honor laid ambition down?
Honor, itself, shall be thy sure reward,
A guard more certain than a flaming sword—
A crown—above a crown.
Since it is honor stays thy lofty quest, Welcome the high defeat thy spirit dares! Aye, wear it proudly as a victor wears The star upon his breast!
