What valor, as thy ballast, predicates Thyselt an helrnsman in the enormity Ot tlagrancyi thy soul which emanates Its Founder and its Founders Deity Tells terribly what intrepidity I-las brandished tar the living God at thee Thy captaincy for taith in sacrilege Thrills youth to stir and nnarch in pilgrimage For trammelled Truth, and hence on sea and sod Thy valor liyeth oneO, rnan at God! -Dale V.
