were not swift 10 XIII.
But when the sands had fallen they walt
ed no mans will:
Though all the world forbade them. they
counted not nor cared
They weighed not help or hindrance, they
did the things they dared.
"The sea-kings loved not Boosting. they
cursed not him that cursed.
They honored all men duly. and him that
faced them first
They stroye and knew not hatred, they
smote and toied TO save,
They tended whom they vanarished,
they praised the fallen brave.
Their flames on Torres vedras. their
flames on Vigo Bar.
Far-fashed to Cape st. Vincent IL burns
from Trafalgar;
Mark as ye 20 the beacons that woke
the world with light
When down their ancient highway your
father passed 10 fight"
Henry Newbolt. in London "Specta,er.'
