Robert William Dale

"Well done I thy words are great and bold:At times they seem to me,Like Luther's in the days of old,Half battles for the free."

"Of old things all are over-old,Of good things none are good enough;He'll show that he can help to frameA Church of better stuff,"

"Was 'The Mayflower' launched by cowards?Steered by men behind their time?Turn those paths towards past, or future,That make Plymouth Rock sublime?"

"Unlearn not the lore thy Wycliffe well learned,Forsake not the cause thy Milton approved,Forget not the fire where thy Latimer burned,Nor turn from the truth thy Cromwell so loved."
