LXIII
A People renewed
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.
