The brave man, indeed, calls himself lord of the land, through his iron, through his blood.

The God, who made earth's iron, would create no slave; therefore he gave the sabre, the sword, and the spear, for man's right hand. Hence he imbued him with courage, lent accents of wrath to freedom's voice, that he might maintain the feud till death.
