Deep faith in those with whom he stands.
That nerve-stiffening fear of Shame.
The foot soldier's unmatched Life.
Above those of softer clays.
To run a murderous race.
So Human Grace shall not decay!
In need of a mortal check.
Each day, for ' We who face the Test'.
"What 'Test' is that?" doubters complain!
With high chance of a short career!
Our name's wreathed with Reputation!
