SECOND PART

6 What! still hug thy dreamy slumbers!
‘T is no time for idling play;
Wreaths, and dance, and poet-numbers,
Flout them-we must work to-day.MIM 42.2

7 Fear not; spurn the worldling’s laughter;
Thine ambition trample thou;
Thou shalt find a long hereafter
To be more than tempts thee now.MIM 42.3

8 On! let all the soul within you
For the truth’s sake go abroad!
Strike! let every nerve and sinew
Tell on ages-tell for God!MIM 42.4

9 Magog leadeth many a vassal;
Christ his few, his little ones;
But about our leaguered castle
Bear and Vanguard are his sons.MIM 42.5

10 Sealed to blush, to cower never,
Crossed, baptized, and born again,
Sworn to be Christ’s soldiers ever,
Oh, for Christ at least be men!MIM 43.1
