Listen in the reader

"Caedmon, in the morn A-calling angels with the cow-herd's call That late brought up the cattle,"*6*

to him

"Who never turned his back, but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, Sleep to wake."*7*
