Notes |
Text: Let others court the phantom-- Glory / Ambitious of historic story; / You seek not fields of strife and blood, / Your
feats are for the body's good. / The sword is but the scourge of men, / And not so mighty as the Pen; / Sooner than fight
on plain that's murkey, / You'd make a charge upon a Turkey.
