Summary

Why hesitate? Ye are full-bearded men,

With God-implanted will, and courage if

Ye dare but show it. Never yet was will

But found some way or means to work it out,

Nor e'er did Fortune frown on him who dared.

Shall we in presence of this grievous wrong,

In this supremest moment of all time,

Stand trembling, cowering, when with one bold stroke

These groaning millions might be ever free?—

And that one stroke so just, so greatly good,

So level with the happiness of man,

That all the angels will applaud the deed.

—E. R. Taylor.
