I am so proud,
If I allowed
My family pride
To be my guide
I'd volunteer
To quit this sphere
Leave the win to you
In a minute or two
But family pride
Must be denied
And set aside
And mortified
And mortified
And so, although
I wish to go
And greatly pine
To brightly shine
And take the line
Of a hero fine
With grief condign
I must decline!
So you see, I am left with no option but to win!
