My Portion is Defeat today | B |
A paler luck than Victory | C |
Less Paeans fewer Bells | D |
The Drums don't follow Me with tunes | E |
Defeat a somewhat slower means | F |
More Arduous than Balls | G |
- | |
'Tis populous with Bone and stain | H |
And Men too straight to stoop again | I |
And Piles of solid Moan | J |
And Chips of Blank in Boyish Eyes | K |
And scraps of Prayer | L |
And Death's surprise | K |
Stamped visible in Stone | J |
- | |
There's somewhat prouder over there | L |
The Trumpets tell it to the Air | L |
How different Victory | C |
To Him who has it and the One | M |
Who to have had it would have been | N |
Contender to die | O |
