This regal mind of the Ace, this scared soul,

This Charisma of majestic hue, this heart of Grace,

This other Adam, This man Tower,

This fortress built by Nature for herself

Against infection and the dogs of war,

This happy breed of a man, this unique world,

This precious stone set in the golden sea,

Which serves it in the office of a wall un-vanquished

Or as a moat defensive to a house,

Against the envy of less happier knaves and vagabonds,--

This blessed pilot, this salt of the earth, this gem,

this Diamond Prince unsurpassed......
