Room for a larger manhood; place
And opportunity to trace

Found-not the wealth of miser-hoard
But greater riches: Wife and child
Twin guerdon for desert most mild
And love and home and heaven outpoured

Them to the keeping of his hand
Who keepeth thee. His purpose vast
Nor war nor peace alone fulfill
But each and both, obedient, still
Masketh his love, as in the past
The old Armada sailed afar
Iaihst kinsmen common to our race;
And with the same old dragon-face
A new Armada sails anear!
So be it. then The royal breed
That met the old will meet the new
And lay its sacrificial due
Upon the altar Of thy need.

Or native-born of law
With courage firm that knows no flaw,
Serenely stand behind thy guns,
And wait thy summons to a fight
For justice and humanity.
