    Song of the brave, how thrills thy tone
    As when the Organ's music rolls;
    No gold rewards, but song alone,
    The deeds of great and noble souls.
    [Ger., Hoch klingt das Lied vom braven Mann,
    Wie Orgelton und Glockenklang;
    Wer hohes Muths sich ruhmen kann
    Den lohnt nicht Gold, den lohnt Gesang.]

O friends, be men; so act that none may feel
Ashamed to meet the eyes of other men.
Think each one of this children and his wife,
His home, his parents, living yet and dead.
For them, the absent ones, I supplicate,
And bid you rally here, and scorn to fly.

The god-like hero sate
On his imperial throne:
His valiant peers were placed around,
Their brows with roses and with myrtles bound
(So should desert in arms be crowned).
The lovely Thais by his side,
Sate like a blooming Eastern bride
In flower of youth and beauty's pride.
Happy, happy, happy pair!
None but the brave,
None but the brave,
None but the brave deserve the fair.

voluptatem summum bonum statuens, esse certe nullo modo potest.]

How sleep the brave, who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes blest!

By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung.
