O friends, be men, and let your hearts be strong,
And let no warrior in the heat of fight
Do what may bring him shame in others' eyes;
For more of those who shrink from shame are safe
Than fall in battle, while with those who flee
Is neither glory nor reprieve from death.
Heroes as great have died, and yet shall fall.
Heroes as great have died, and yet shall fall.
Accept these grateful tears! for thee thy flow,
For thee, that ever felt another's woe!
Accept these grateful tears! for thee thy flow,
For thee, that ever felt another's woe!
And unextinguish'd laughter shakes the skies.
And unextinguish'd laughter shakes the skies.
