From the Harvard Commemoration Ode, July 21, 1865

  LIFE may be given in many ways,
  And loyalty to Truth be sealed
As bravely in the closet as the field,
    So bountiful is Fate;
    But then to stand beside her,
    When craven churls deride her,
To front a line in arms and not to yield,
    This shows, methinks, God’s plan...
