A PEOPLE RENEWED
Reading edition
Now these like men shall live, And like to princes fall. They take what Fate will give At this great festival. And since at length they find That life is sweet indeed, They cast it on the wind To serve their country’s need. See young “Adventure” there (“Make-money-quick” that was) Hurls down his gods that were For Honour and the Cross! Old “Grab-at-Gold” lies low In Flanders. And again (Because men will it so) England is ruled by Men.
