    To the sick man the physician when he enters seems to have three
    faces, those of a man, a devil, a god. When the physician first
    comes and announces the safety of the patient, then the sick man
    says: "Behold a God or a guardian angel!"
    [Lat., Intrantis medici facies tres esse videntur
    Aegrotanti; hominis, Daemonis, atque Dei.
    Cum primum accessit medicus dixitque salutem,
    En Deus aut custos angelus, aeger ait.]

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away;
Agayne I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tyde and made my paynes his prey.

Our God and soldier we alike adore,
When at the brink of ruin, not before;
After deliverance read more

Our God and soldier we alike adore,
When at the brink of ruin, not before;
After deliverance both alike requited,
Our God forgotten, and our soldiers slighted.

Forgotten? No, we never do forget:
We let the years go; wash them clean with tears,
Leave them to bleach out in the open day,
Or lock them careful by, like dead friends' clothes,
Till we shall dare unfold them without pain,--
But we forget not, never can forget.

Lord of our far-flung battle-line,
Beneath whose awful Hand we read more

God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle-line,
Beneath whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine--
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!
