PRO PATRIA

Britons, in this great fight to which you go

Because where Honour calls you, go you must,

Be glad, whatever comes, at least to know

You have your quarrel just.

* * * * * *

Others may spurn the pledge of land to land,

May with the brute sword stain a gallant past;

But by the seal to which you set your hand

Thank God, you still stand fast.

Sir Owen Seaman (“Touchstone”)
