You have
no enemies, you say?
Alas! my friend, the boast
is poor;
He who has mingled in the
fray
Of duty, that the brave
endure,
Must have
made foes! If you have none,
Small is the work that you
have done.
You’ve hit no traitor on the
hip,
You’ve dashed no cup from
perjured lip,
You’ve never turned the
wrong to right,
You’ve been a coward in the
fight.
Mackay,
Charles -
Scottish
poet, journalist, author, anthologist, novelist, and songwriter
