Chosen Heroes.

"THEN to side with truth is noble when we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause brings fame and profit, and 'tis prosperous to be just: Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside, Doubting, in his abject spirit, till his Lord is crucified, And the multitude make virtue of the faith they once denied.
"Count me o'er Earth's chosen heroes: they are souls that stood alone While the men they agonized for, hurled the contumelious stone— Stood alone, and, down the future, saw the golden beam incline To the side of perfect justice, mastered by their faith divine, By one man's plain truth to manhood, and to God's supreme design."
