EPIGRAPH: This they all with a joyful mind
Bear through life like a torch in flame,
And falling, fling to the host behind --
'Play up! Play up! and play the game!'

EPIGRAPH: "To set the cause above renown, To love the game beyond the prize, To honour, while you strike him down, The foe that comes with fearless eyes; To count the life of battle good, And clear the land that gave you birth, Bring nearer yet the brotherhood That binds the brave of all the earth...."
