Another Year! Another Deadly Blow! Another Mighty Empire Overthrown! And We Are Left, Or Shall Be Left, Alone; The Last That Dare To Struggle With The Foe. 'Tis Well! From This Day Forward We Shall Know That In Ourselves Our Safety Must Be Sought; That By Our Own Right Hands It Must Be Wrought; That We Must Stand Unpropped, Or Be Laid Low. O Dastard Whom Such Foretaste Doth Not Cheer! We Shall Exult, If They Who Rule The Land Be Men Who Hold Its Many Blessings Dear, Wise, Upright, Valiant; Not A Servile Band, Who Are To Judge Of Danger Which They Fear, And Honour Which They Do Not Understand.
