    Be steadfast as a tower that doth not bend its stately summit to
    the tempest's shock.
    [It., Sta come torre ferme, che non crolla
    Giammai la cima per soffiar de' venti.]

Courage, the highest gift, that scorns to bend
To mean devices for a sordid end.
Courage--an independent spark from Heaven's bright throne,
By which the soul stands raised, triumphant high, alone.

Above all vice, it stoops not to be proud.

By which those great in war, are great in love.
The spring of all brave acts is seated here,
As falsehoods draw their sordid birth from fear.
