None need-* to grudge that there be flung On his untimely grave All flowers of pity for the young; The innocent, the brave. Not his sins that marred his land, Though they were sinned for him; No war was kindled by his hand Because his star grew dim. And therefore it is well that now The willing tear bo shed For the poor stripling Princo laid low Among inglorious dead. But also well that wo should mark, Hovering about the gato Of death, the levelled hand, tho dark And awful brows of Fate; And hear what ghostly murmurs swell Around the fatal spot, From countless shades of those who fell : At Worth and Gravelotto. 'What robe of empire now clothes on This body pierced and bare ? Where is the purple, (Jiusar's son, We died that you might wear ? Was it for this \vc shed our blood, For this poor naked proy Of savage wile, this fated food For Zulu assegai ? Left we for this our children dear, Sweet faces of our wives ?
