    The truly brave,
    When they behold the brave oppressed with odds,
    Are touched with a desire to shield and save:--
    A mixture of wild beasts and demi-gods
    Are they--now furious as the sweeping wave,
    Now moved with pity; even as sometimes nods
    The rugged tree unto the summer wind,
    Compassion breathes along the savage mind.

The god-like hero sate
On his imperial throne:
His valiant peers were placed around,
Their brows with roses and with myrtles bound
(So should desert in arms be crowned).
The lovely Thais by his side,
Sate like a blooming Eastern bride
In flower of youth and beauty's pride.
Happy, happy, happy pair!
None but the brave,
None but the brave,
None but the brave deserve the fair.

How sleep the brave, who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes blest!

By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung.
