    As when the Organ's music rolls;
    No gold rewards, but song alone,
    The deeds of great and noble souls.
    [Ger., Hoch klingt das Lied vom braven Mann,
    Wie Orgelton und Glockenklang;
    Wer hohes Muths sich ruhmen kann
    Den lohnt nicht Gold, den lohnt Gesang.]

Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires.

divine poet (to chronicle their deeds).

Multi; sed omnes illacrimabiles
Urguentur ignotique sacro.]
