Quotes from Sir Henry Newbolt

Qui procul hinc, the legend's writ,The frontier grave is far away—Qui ante diem periit:Sed miles, sed pro patria.

To set the cause above renown,To love the game beyond the prize,To honor, while you strike him down,The foe that comes with fearless eyes;To count the life of battle goodAnd dear the land that gave you birth,And dearer yet the brotherhoodThat binds the brave of all the earth.

Now the sunset breezes shiver,And she's fading down the river,But in England's song foreverShe's the Fighting Téméraire.

Play up! play up! and play the game!
