Duidelijke orders: of je nu wint of verliest, vecht!

Onze taak als trouwe discipelen door de ogen van de Welshe dichter Ethelwyn Wetherald:

My orders are to fight;
Then if I bleed, or fail,
Or strongly win, what matters it?
God only doth prevail.
The servant craveth naught
Except to serve with might.
I was not told to win or lose—
My orders are to fight.
