The spirit-stirring drum, th ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner and all quality,
Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!”

“He saw, he wishd, and to the prize aspird.
Resolvd to win, he meditates the way,
By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
For when success a lovers toil attends,
Few ask, if fraud or force attaind his ends.”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
