Not to be outdone:
        "And the bold, true warriors
         Who have hugged Danger in wars
         Will turn to those who would be free,
         Ashamed of such base company.

        "And that slaughter to the Nation
         Shall steam up like inspiration,
         Eloquent, oracular;
         A volcano heard afar.

        "And these words shall then become
         Like oppression's thundered doom
         Ringing through each heart and brain,
         Heard again - again - again -

        "Rise like lions after slumber
         In unvanquishable number -
         Shake your chains to earth like dew
         Which in sleep have fallen on you -
         Ye are many, they are few."
