THE FAULTLESS SERVICE.
(Anthony Wilding: Killed in action, May, 1915.) He played tho game— . Unconquered to the finish ) He met the lute which makes a hero a name, . ... Nor death his tale of triumph could diminish — He played tho game! Ho played tho game— . When strife in sport was bidden Upon the courts lib won his meed ol fame, But When to .sterner striving was lie He played the game. He played the game And put aside his playthings, For first he placed his Empire and her claim. Preferring far to do than merely say things. Ho played the game. Ho played tho game— O thou who art a stranger To that dull flush which comes of craven shamo, Remember that in this dark hour of danger Ho played tho game. Ho played the game — His country still is calling For you to rise aud gladly do the same; Fight whore your fellow-countrymen are falling— And nlay tho game I - -"Oriel," in the Melbourne Argus.
