“Our frigate takes fire,
The other asks if we demand quarter?
If our colors are struck and the fighting done?
Now I laugh content for I hear the voice of my little captain,
We have not struck, he composedly cries, we have just begun our part of the fighting.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)

Shalt constant faith and service vow,
Thy Celia shall receive those charms
With open ears, and with unfolded arms.”
