Authors:
  • They only the victory win,
    Who have fought the good fight and have vanquished the demon that tempts us within;
    Who have held to their faith unseduced by the prize that the world holds on high;
    Who have dared for a high cause to suffer, resist, fight -- if need be, to die.

    William Wetmore Story (1856). “Monologues and lyrics”, p.178
