“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

Crew
SO happy were Columbia’s eight,
As near the goal they drew,
Each struggling hero all elate,
The cock-swain almost crew.
A beautiful display of young British manhood in full flower!
Reassuring, actually.
Good to know they're not all long-haired latte leftists sitting on the ground in a haze of pot smoke making limp-wristed accusatory gestures as Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher burning in effigy.
