Read, sweet, how others strove,
\nTill we are stouter;
\nWhat they renounced,
\nTill we are less afraid;
\nHow many times they bore
\nThe faithful witness,
\nTill we are helped,
\nAs if a kingdom cared!<\/p>\n
Read then of faith
\nThat shone above the fagot;
\nClear strains of hymn
\nThe river could not drown;
\nBrave names of men
\nAnd celestial women,
\nPassed out of record
\nInto renown!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
