As I gird on for fighting

    My sword upon my thigh,

I think on old ill fortunes

    Of better men than I.

Think I, the round world over,

    What golden lads are low

With hurts not mine to mourn for

    And shames I shall not know.

What evil luck soever

    For me remains in store,

'Tis sure much finer fellows

    Have fared much worse before. 

So here are things to think on

    That ought to make me brave,

As I strap on for fighting

    My sword that will not save.

– A.E. Housman (1922)
