 Glory beyond all flight of warlike fame Go with the warrior’s memory who preferred To praise of men whereby men’s hearts are stirred, And acclamation of his own proud name With blare of trumpet-blasts and sound and flame Of pageant honour, and the titular word That only wins men worship of the herd, His country’s sovereign good: who overcame Pride, wrath, and hope of all high chance on earth, For this land’s love that gave his great heart birth. O nursling of the sea-winds and the sea, Immortal England, goddess ocean-born, What shall thy children fear, what strengths not scorn, While children of such mould are born to thee?
