 Who weighed in faithful scales the knightly mood, Set true for peace or strife, The jewel worth of gracious womanhood, Man's light of life:

Who loved his land with passion high and just, Nor feared, whate'er should fail, That she, who bears the great world's sacred trust, Would still prevail.

Farewell, the banner of thy country's pride Enshrouds thy mortal frame. In grateful hearts of myriads shall abide Thy deathless name. J.G.
