Стр. 360 - Glory and love to the men of old, Their sons may copy their virtues bold, Courage in heart and sword in hand, Ready to fight or ready to die, for Fatherland!

Стр. 259 - Pluck comes nobly to the fore Gaining he is, more and more, Nerves all braced he dashes on Another spurt, — the race is won. Hearty cheers then rent the air Beaten men admit all fair, Winners from all boasts refrain, Losers say they'll try again. Moralists who disesteem The joys that in snow shoeing teem, Let the moral in our race 259 Perseverance is our word " Giving in" is never heard, Men can't follow in our track, With beer in belly or crime en back.
