Emily Dickinson - Who never lost, are unprepared

Who never lost, are unpreparedA Coronet to find!Who never thirstedFlagons, and Cooling Tamarind!Who never climbed the weary league --Can such a foot exploreThe purple territoriesOn Pizarro's shore?How many Legions overcome --The Emperor will say?How many Colors takenOn Revolution Day?How many Bullets bearest?Hast Thou the Royal scar?Angels! Write "Promoted"On this Soldier's brow!
