THE CRIMEAN WAR

(1854-1856)

Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he That every man in arms should wish to be? --It is the generous Spirit, who, when brought Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought... Or if an unexpected call succeed, Come when it will, is equal to the need. WORDSWORTH.
