Side 9 - To others' failings as your own; If you're the first a fault to see, Be not the first to make it known. For life is but a passing day, No lip...
Side 200 - Higher, higher will we climb. Up the mount of glory, That our names may live through time, In our country's story ; Happy, when her welfare calls, He who conquers, he who falls.
