Epigraph
Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he
That every man in arms should wish to be?
—It is the generous spirit, who,...
Come when it will, is equal to the need...
Who, with a toward or untoward lot,
Prosperous or adverse, to his wish or not—
Plays, in the many games of life, that one
Where what he most doth value must be won:
Whom neither shape of danger can dismay,
Nor thought of tender happiness betray.
—WORDSWORTH.
