Rudyard Kipling Quote

Like Princes crowned they bore them--Like Demi-Gods they wrought,When the New World lay before themIn headlong fact and thought. Fate and their foemen proved themAbove all meed of praise,And Gloriana loved them,And Shakespeare wrote them plays!. . . . . . .Now Valour, Youth, and Life's delight break forthIn flames of wondrous deed, and thought sublime---Lightly to mould new worlds or lightly looseWords that shall shake and shape all after-time!Giants with giants, wits with wits engage,And England-England-England takes the breathOf morning, body and soul, till the great AgeFulfills in one great chord:--Elizabeth!
