To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— but fighting all the time! Taking their toll in fallen of the foe ! Resisting, with a fortitude sublime, The host that, like a mighty tide in flow. Shall, later, ebb as far. Ofttimes is seen The best in men who face adversity. Not in success ; oft has the honour been Their meed who fought yet gained no victory. And these, who dauntlessly the foe withstood, Their fame shall grow to a tradition hoary ; Still shall their courage stir a Briton's blood While yet a Briton lives to hear the story; N...or ever shall a nation's gratitude Forget the lustre added to her glory! 13 TO OUR SOLDIERS Soldiers of Freedom ! Champions of the Right ! True offspring of your dauntless sires of old ! How have you kept our fame and honour bright, And proved you too are of heroic mould ! Who says now that our nation is effete, Our Empire but a crumbling house of cards? The purblind victims of their own conceit Their error learn — hoist with their own petards ! Not in her battleships, her mighty guns On sea or land — which are but instruments — Lies Britain's strength, but in her valiant sons — Should all else fail her strong and sure defence !
