Fight like a lion! do acts of courage and splendor! and you shall never rise above the rank of a private soldier.

For you there is neither money nor honor, rights secured, nor fame gained.

Dying, you fall into a nameless grave: living, you come back to your old estate of insult and wrong.

If you refuse these tempting offers, we brand you cowards.

If, under these infamous restraints and disadvantages, you fail to equal the white troops by your side, you are written down--inferiors.
