    “We are the music-makers,

    World-losers and world-forsakers,
    On whom the pale moon gleams:”
    —Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy (1844–1881)

    “‘Ye have robbed,’ said he, ‘ye have slaughtered and made an end,
    Take your ill-got plunder, and bury the dead:

    —Sir Henry Newbolt (1862–1938)
