#2 Thus saith the Land! "He who shall bear
Victoria's cross upon his breast,
In token that he did not fear
To die - had need been - for her rest;
For the dear sake of her who gives,
And the high deeds of him who wears,
Shall, high or low, all honour have
From all, through all his years."

Sir Edwin Arnold
