“The man that hails you Tom or Jack,
And proves by thumps upon your back
How he esteems your merit,
Is such a friend, that one had need
Be very much his friend indeed
To pardon or to bear it.”

“But whether on the scaffold high,
Or in the battle’s van,
The fittest place where man can die
Is where he dies for man.”
