 “In the fury of manly men is wisdom of life!

“The brave hawk, in the struggle with tyranny, then sheds thy blood! But the time will come when the warm blood of thy heart shall be as a real flame amidst the darkness of life, and in many bold hearts will spring up the desire for liberty and light. Oh! woe, then, to enemies of liberty; woe to the tyrant!

“It does not matter that thou hast died; for in thy manly song—strong with spirit—thou wilt be always a living example, a proud summons to the struggle for liberty. Under thy banner we will trample the tyrants down; under thy flag will we go to the battle!

“To the fury of manly men, we raise the song;

“To those who perish, we offer homage!”
