| Less of Love than Wrath and Hate | B |
| Hath within its fierceness dwelling | A |
| Some pure note compassionate | C |
| - | |
| Mark if rude their nature stronger | D |
| Manlier are the minds that keep | E |

| Sang our Sires from Sire to Son | I |
| Heard and loved the hero voices | H |
| Dare and more than life is won | I |
