When I lose that,’ says Rose, ‘I’ll die’:

“I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris and he;
I galloped, Dirck galloped, we galloped all three;
“Good speed!” cried the watch as the gate-bolts undrew,
“Speed!” echoed the wall to us galloping through.
Behind shut the postern, the lights sank to rest,
And into the midnight we galloped abreast.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

“Was none who would be foremost
To lead such dire attack;
But those behind cried “Forward!”
And those before cried “Back!””
