W: Thou strik'st the dull peasant, he sinks in the dark,
W:    Nor saves ev'n the wreck of a name:
W: Thou strik'st the young hero, a glorious mark!
W:    He falls in the blaze of his fame.
W: In the field of proud honour, our swords in our hands,
W:    Our King and our Country to save,
W: While victory shines on life's last ebbing sands,
W:    O, who would not die with the brave!
