| Wherein true men may fail and true causes be sold | B |
| Yet on the whole however may rattle | A |

| Clear victory s always the bride of the bold | B |
| Armed in your right though friendship deny you | C |
| And love fall away when the storm s at the worst | D |
| Count not your loss Was destined to try you | C |
| Bear the brunt like a man and your deeds shall ally you | C |

| There s none loves more strongly the heart that endures | F |
| On in the hero s calm resolute manner | E |
| Still bear aloft your hope s long trusted banner | E |
| And the day if you do but live through it is yours | F |
| - | |
| Be this your faith and if killing strokes clatter | E |
| On your harness where true men before you have died | G |
| Fight on let your life blood be poured out like water | E |
| Fight on make at least a brave end of the matter | E |
| Brave end of the struggle if nothing beside | G |
