What is more glorious than the fight, The rattle of arms, the clash of shield, What is more glorious than a knight Ready and eager for the tourney field? And in battle we will crush the foe Aye, through the wide fields we’ll ride Bringing justice to the high and low, For who stays a knight in stride? —EDWARD O’CONNELL, Eng. III.

But when our friends no longer stay, When they from us have gone, How dark and gloomy seems each night. And darker still each dawn. As I go down life’s highway, Until the journey ends, I do not need so much of gold— But, oh! I do need friends! —JACK CURRAN, Eng. II.
