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
