    hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the
    spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in
    the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the
    place when Asahel fell down and died stood still.

I have seen men march to the wars, and then

And they brought back bodies of living men,
But their eyes were fold and dead.

I want you to come back thru The Flame
With the boy-look still in your eyes!

Stood fast while England girt her armour on,
Held high our honour in your wounded hands,
Carried our honour safe with bleeding feet--
We have no glory great enough for you,
The very soul of Britain keeps your day.

Their enemies were targets, their bullets they were tow.

The king of France with twenty thousand men
Went up the hill, and then came down again:
The king of Spain with twenty thousand more
Climbed the same hill the French had climbed before.
