Additional quotes by Thomas Campbell

Who hath not owned, with rapture-smitten frame,
The power of grace, the magic of a name?

And rival all but Shakespeare's name below.

Shall victor exult, or in death be laid low,
With his back to the field and his feet to the foe,
And leaving in battle no blot on his name,
Look proudly to heaven from the death-bed of fame.

Another's sword has laid him low, Another's and another's; And every hand that dealt the blow— Ah me! it was a brother's! - Thomas Campbell
